Brief communication: HLA antigen frequencies in renal cell carcinoma.
HLA-A, B, and C antigen frequencies were studied in 38 Caucasian patients with a history of renal cell carcinomas; 30 were also tested for DR antigen frequencies. The results failed to indicate any significant deviations from normal Caucasian HLA antigen frequency distributions. These results were inconsistent with a previous study that indicated a very significant increase in the frequency of the antigen DR5 among renal cell cancer patients.
