[Tissue typing of blood lymphocytes in normal Chinese and diseases (author's transl)].
The histocompatibility antigens were determined in 170 normal Chinese by a modified micro-lymphocytotoxicity test of Terasaki using 26 typing sera obtained from Behring Laboratories and Stanford University, and the data were compared with those obtained from 36 systemic lupus erythematosus, 30 rheumatoid arthritis, 17 ankylosing spondylitis as well as 45 leprosy patients. In normal individuals HLA-A2,A11 and A9 were dominant in locus A, the frequency were 42.35%, 41.76% and 32.35% respectively. HLA-Bw17, B13 and B5 were dominant in locus B, the frequency were 55.29%, 19.41% and 14.70% respectively. In systemic lupus erythematosus, the frequency of B8, Bw38 and A3 were slightly higher than normal (relative risk > 2); the frequency of Bw21 and B7 were little lower (risk of Bw21 < 0.5, frequency of B7 > 5% in normals but none in patients). In rheumatoid arthritis, the frequency of A28 and A10 (Aw25+26) were slightly lower than normal (risk < 0.5). In ankylosing spondylitis, the frequency of B27 was extremely high (risk = 44.92), Aw24 was also rather high (risk > 2); the frequency of B5, Bw35 and A10 (Aw25+26) was low (risk < 0.5), Bw15 and Bw21 > 5% in normals but none in patients. In leprosy, the frequency of B18 was relatively high (risk > 2); A3, Aw30+31+32, B27 and Bw35 were somewhat low (risk < 0.5). Because of the small sample size, however, the differences were not significant by Chi square analysis except the high frequency of B27 in ankylosing spondylitis (corrected P < 0.001).
