Analysis of an HL-A antiserum by iso-electric focusing.

An anti-HL-A 3 antiserum with cross-reacting activity for HL-A 1 and HL-A 11 was subjected to isoelectric focusing over a pH 5-8 gradient. The cytotoxic activity of the serum focused into three distinct peaks, one at the basic end of the gradient, one between pH 6 and pH 7 and one at the acidic end. The first and second peaks reacted with HL-A 3 positive cells and HL-A 3 negative cells positive for cross-reacting antigens. The third peak reacted only with HL-A 3 positive cells.

Variable association of HLA-A2 in men with early-onset Alzheimer disease.

In the present study, we attempted to replicate the finding of an increased frequency of HLA-A2 in men with early-onset (less than or equal to 60 years) Alzheimer disease (AD). HLA data obtained on 167 patients (including 19 men with early-onset AD) from three geographic regions (North Carolina, Great Britain, and Finland) failed to replicate the result. A recent prospective study from Oregon, however, confirmed the association. Studies demonstrating the association suggest its presence in sporadic rather than familial AD. These results indicate a variable HLA/AD association, with some factor such as geographic region or disease familiality contributing to this variability.
