HLA-B40 explained
HLA-B40 (B40) is an HLA - B serotype. B40 is composed of the B60 and B61 split antigen serotypes.[1]
Serotype
B60, B40, B61 serotype recognition of some HLA B*40 allele-group gene products[2] | B*40 | B60 | B40 | B61 | Sample |
| allele | % | % | % | size (N) |
| 40:01 | 93 | 4 | 2 | 3854 |
| B*40 | B61 | B40 | B60 | Sample |
| allele | % | % | % | size (N) |
| 40:02 | 80 | 6 | 8 | 1460 |
| 40:03 | 62 | | 23 | 31 |
| 40:04 | 47 | | 12 | 57 |
| 40:06 | 75 | 5 | 5 | 585 | |
B*40:05 is poorly recognized by B40, B60, or B61.
