HLA Antigens in the Uitoto Indians and an Urban Population of Colombia

One hundred individuals from the city of Bogota and 32 Uitoto Indians from the Colombian Amazonia were HLA-typed. The results showed that the two populations differ significantly in the frequencies of the alíeles A28, B15, B39, Bw51, Cw2, Cw3 and DRw52. In general, the Uitoto Indians resemble, in th...

Zusammenfassung:One hundred individuals from the city of Bogota and 32 Uitoto Indians from the Colombian Amazonia were HLA-typed. The results showed that the two populations differ significantly in the frequencies of the alíeles A28, B15, B39, Bw51, Cw2, Cw3 and DRw52. In general, the Uitoto Indians resemble, in their histocompatibility antigens, other Latin-American Indians so far studied.
