30 families in which at least one member has asthma were tested for five new specificities of B lymphocytes as well as for twenty-five HLA antigens. 41 other asthmatic patients were also tested. HLA-B8 was slightly less common than normal in the 71 patients with asthma and there was a trend towards an increased frequency of HLA-A2 in these patients. However, 88% of the 30 asthma patients had B lymphocyte group 2 compared with 24% of the 109 controls. This strong association between asthma and B lymphocyte group 2 was not completely paralleled by linkage with a postulated susceptibility gene of the HLA complex in 9 families whose members were investigated in detail.
