HLA-B59



major histocompatibility complex (human), class I, B59
Alleles B*5901
Structure (See HLA-B)
Symbol(s) HLA-B
EBI-HLA B*5901
Locus chr.6 6p21.31

HLA-B59 (B59) is an HLA-B serotype. The serotype identifies the more common HLA-B*## gene products.[1] B59 is a hybrid between B*55 and B*51.[2] B59 is more common in Japan, Korea, N. China and Mongolia. (For terminology help see: HLA-serotype tutorial)
