HBs antigen (HBsAg) has been followed up every month in 440 hemodialyzed patients, typed for 26 HLA alleles of the A and B loci. An abnormally high rate of the HLA-A1, B8 association (18.6 %) was found in the group of patients able to eliminate HBsAg, when compared with the normal French population (5.05 %, p -4), and with the group of patients unable to eliminate HBsAg (7.0 %, p
