HLA-A, -B, -C, -DRB1 and -DQB1 allele and haplotype frequencies in the Serbian population.

This study provides the first published detailed analysis of five loci polymorphisms as well as reports of two, three and five loci haplotype frequencies in the Serbian population in a sample of 1992 volunteer bone marrow donors recruited from different part of the country. Typing was performed by PCR SSO method combined with PCR SSP techniques to resolve ambiguities. In total, 16 HLA-A, 28 HLA-B, 14 HLA-C, 13 HLA-DRB1 and 5 HLA-DQB1 allelic groups were identified.

[Significance of determining concentrations of subclasses of IgG and IgA--our experience].

Selective IgG and IgA subclass (IgGsc and IgAsc) deficiencies may be either partial or complete, yet, combined subclass deficiencies are common. The serums of 65 patients with various clinical symptoms were investigated for quantitative and qualitative immunoglobulin levels. A high correlation (r=0.
