Abstract
Evidence for a genetic component in susceptibility to Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection was sought by comparing HLA A and B phenotypes of EBV antibody-negative Scottish medical students and randomly chosen antibody-positive controls. No statistically significant differences were observed, but three antigens, (A10, A29 and B15), were relatively underrepresented in the EBV seronegative group; findings which agree with data previously reported from a similar study in Los Angeles. A strong association between the HLA A1/Blank phenotype and EBV seronegativity, evident in the Los Angeles population, was not confirmed in the present study.Entities:
