Abstract
Genetic variation of the B subunit of human coagulation factor XIII was observed after electrophoresis of plasma or serum samples on thin layer agarose plates and subsequent immunofixation with a specific antiserum. The F-XIIIB locus is autosomal and has 3 alleles. In Australian blood donors, the F-XIIIB1, F-XIIIB2 and F-XIIIB3 alleles have frequencies of 0.747, 0.084, and 0.169, respectively.
