Abstract

The distribution of phenotypes of the group specific component (Gc) was examined in 85 AIDS patients and in 40 couples, each consisting of one HIV seropositive patient and one seronegative sexual partner. Phenotype and allele frequencies in these groups did not differ significantly from those in a Swedish control population. Our observations did not indicate any involvement of the Gc system in susceptibility to HIV infection or progression to AIDS.
