Serologically detectable HLA-A, B, and C loci antigens in farmer's lung disease. 1980

D K Flaherty, and S R Braun, and J J Marx, and J L Blank, and D A Emanuel, and J Rankin

The frequency of serologically detectable (SD) HLA-A, B, and C loci antigens in subjects with farmer's lung disease (N = 100) was compared with that of age- and sex-matched normal normal farmers with no precipitating antibodies to extracts of thermophilic actinomycetes. A subset of the farming population with antibodies to the thermophilic actinomycetes and no evidence of clinical disease (N = 55) was also agae- and sex-matched to the farmer's lung disease population. No significant associations between any of the SD HLA antigens tested and farmer's lung disease were found in the study. The data demonstrated that there was no association between SD HLA antigens and farmer's lung disease in random populations.

D008297 Male Males
D005203 Farmer's Lung A form of alveolitis or pneumonitis due to an acquired hypersensitivity to inhaled antigens associated with farm environment. Antigens in the farm dust are commonly from bacteria actinomycetes (SACCHAROPOLYSPORA and THERMOACTINOMYCES), fungi, and animal proteins in the soil, straw, crops, pelts, serum, and excreta.

D006680 HLA Antigens Antigens determined by leukocyte loci found on chromosome 6, the major histocompatibility loci in humans. They are polypeptides or glycoproteins found on most nucleated cells and platelets, determine tissue types for transplantation, and are associated with certain diseases.
