80 patients affected by Cronic Glomerulonephritis have been typed for HLA-A-B-C locuses, using a standard NIH Microfinphotoxicity Technique. 66 healthy blood donors have been types as controls. A significantly increased frequency of HLA-Bw35 has been reported in the patients group. Further analysis is needed for definite conclusions about linkage between this disease and HLA antigens.
