title: Lack of relationship between the HLA system and subacute sclerosing panencephalitis.
abstract: Thirty-six HLA - A, B and C antigens were typed in 35 SSPE patients. No difference in the frequency of any of the antigens studied was noted between SSPE and age-, sex- and race-matched controls. Nor was there any difference when they were compared with the adult control group.
