title: Normal distribution of factor B (Bf) allotypes in multiple sclerosis.
abstract: 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.
