HL–A Phenotyping in an Indonesian Population

The frequencies of 30 HL–A antigens were studied in an Indonesian population of 95 individuals from the city of Jakarta. The antigens HL–A9, or more precisely W24, and HL–All (first series) and W15 (second series) occurred with high frequencies, whereas HL–A8, W14 and W22 were completely absent. These results are consistent with previous reports of HL–A typing in South East Asian populations.
