Heterozygosity at Gm loci associated with humoral immunity to osteosarcoma

J P Pandey et al. J Exp Med. .

Abstract

Serum samples from 50 Caucasian patients with osteosarcoma were tested for the presence of antibodies to osteosarcoma-associated antigens (OSAA) and typed for nine Gm markers. A highly significant association was found between Gm 3;5,13,14 and unresponsiveness to OSAA, and between 1,3,17;5,13,14,21 and responsiveness to OSAA. These results suggest the existence of complementary immune response genes which in the heterozygous condition permit a response to OSAA.
