ABSTRACT

The HLA-DRB1 and -DQB1 alleles in 161 healthy unrelated individuals, including Caucasians, Blacks and Mulattos (mixed Caucasian and Black), from the Northeastern region of the state of São Paulo, Brazil were analysed. The 36 different DRB1 alleles detected included not only common Caucasian alleles, but also DRB1*0411, 0807 and 1402, typical of Amerindians, and DRB1*0302, 1503, and 0804, typical of African American Blacks.
