Abstract excerpt
In the present study, HLA-A, B, C, DR, DQ, and DP loci were analyzed in a group of Mataco Amerindians of Argentina. Using reagents from the 11th International Histocompatibility Workshop (11th IHW), class I specifities such as Bw70, Bw75, and Bw48 were found in this population, other than the HLA determinants commonly described in South American Indians. The class II antigens found were DR4, DRw14, and DRw8 at...
