title: Serum HLA typing.
abstract: This paper establishes that HLA antigens can be detected in serum by lymphocytotoxicity inhibition. A score system is described which enables the degree of cytotoxicity inhibition to be quantitated. The following HLA antigens have been detected: A1, A2, A3, A11, Aw24, B5, B7, B8, B27, Bw35 and B40. It has not been possible to detect HLA-B12.
