✦ Synopsis

Serological and molecular analysis of HLA class I antigens in two distinct Indian tribes from Brazil has revealed the presence of novel I-ILA-B alleles, presumably generated in South America from preexisting alleles (Belich et al. 1992). Recent analysis of the HLA class II polymorphism in the same Guarani and Kaingang tribes showed distinct frequences for certain HLA-DR antigens and HLA-DR/DQ haplotypes (Petzl-Erler et al. 1993). HLA-DR6, a frequent
