[Augmentation of HL-A A9 antigen in malignant melanoma, principally in metastatic or recurrent forms. Apropos of 105 cases of melanoma of which 34 were serious forms].
HLA-A and B phenotypes of 105 patients suffering from malignant melanomas were determined, with special regard for metastatic form or relapse. A highly significant increase of the HLA-A9 antigen is seen (X2 = 17.47); such data had already been shown by van Wijek [2], but other authors did not find this abnormality when studying melanomas whose histologic form was not specified.
