Human Leukocyte Antigen Haplotypes in the Genetic Control of Immune Response to Measles‐Mumps‐Rubella Vaccine
2 Feb 2006
Abstract excerpt
To elucidate the contribution of human leukocyte antigen (HLA) haplotypes and their genotypic combinations to immune status after measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) vaccination, 346 children 12-18 years of age were studied. The class I A*29-Cw*16-B*44 haplotype was associated with lower levels of immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibody to both measles (P=.08) and mumps (P=.03) viral antigens. The A*26-Cw*12-B*38 haplotype was...
