24 psoriasis vulgaris patients were investigated for the expression of class II HLA antigens on the surface of PWM-stimulated T lymphocytes. The percentage of the expression of HLA-DP antigens ranged from 50.1% to 82.6% compared to a 100% level in healthy controls (p less than 0.005). No significant differences in the expression of HLA-DR antigens were observed. A higher frequency of some HLA antigens was found in the group of patients studied: B13 - 23.1%/6.2%, B 17 - 15.4%/7.1%, and Dw7 - 59.4%/15.8%.
