. Comparing the expected and observed HL‐A antibody forming in condition of fetomaternal immunization in 184 pregnant women, some differences in the immunogenic strength of HL‐A antigens were investigated. The HL‐A antigens were graded in three groups in accordance with their coefficient of immuno‐genicity as follows: in first group, with a coefficient more than 50 are HL‐A2, HL‐A7, HL‐A5, W22, HL‐A13, W27 and W10; in second group, with a coefficient from 25 to 50 are HL‐A1, W24, HL‐A11, W5, W14 and HL‐A12; and in the third group, with a coefficient less than 25 are HL‐A3, W25 and HL‐A8. The data about the other HL‐A antigens are not significant.
