Normal distribution of factor B (Bf) allotypes in multiple sclerosis.
Bf allotypes were determined in 200 multiple sclerosis (MS) patients and compared to analogous control frequencies. No significant deviation of any Bf phenotype was found. Also in HLA-B7- as well as Dw2-positive patients normal Bf frequencies existed.
