introduction several lines of evidence support the contribution of autoimmune mechanisms in the pathogenesis of meniere’s disease. the aim of this study was determining the association between hla-cw alleles in patients with definite meniere’s disease and patients with probable meniere’s disease and a control group.  materials and methods: hla-cw genotyping was performed in 23 patients with def...

A B S T R A C T Using a radioimmunoassay method in conjunction with double diffusion studies, we characterized the antigenic determinants of the three Hp Bellevue phenotypes. An antigenic model based on these data indicates that each phenotype comprises a heterogeneous group of proteins with properties depending on their content of normal (hp,8) and of mutant (hp,8Bellevue) chains of haptoglobi...

The subject of immunogenetics is not a simple one even (or especially) for workers in the field, and this book is not one that can be scanned quickly. Yet Dr. Lengerova writes clearly and advances her discussion logically from basic conceptual and historical aspects, through the topography and immunochemistry of mouse H-2 antigens into the complexities of tumor antigens and parent-hybrid incomp...
