Abstract
The family of an individual was studied who lacks the seventh component of complement in his serum (C7 homozygous deficiency). Both parents are C7 heterozygousdeficient. In this investigation, the following parameters were determined: complement components in functional and immunochemical tests; HLA-A,B antigens, HLA-D (MLC) determinants; the Bf system; glyoxalase I and B cell antigens. No evidence for linkage between the immunogenetic linkage group on chromosome 6 and gene(s) controlling the synthesis of the seventh component of complement was obtained. This is in accordance with the assumption that only genes controlling components of the initiating rather than the membrane attack unit of complement are linked to the HLA region.This publication has 8 references indexed in Scilit:
