NCIt synonyms : HLA Class II Histocompatibility Antigen Complex, DR15; Major Histocompatibility Complex, Class II, DR15; HLA-DR15;
NCIt definition : HLA-DR15 antigen is a set of polymorphic glycoprotein complexes encoded by the human
HLA-DRA and HLA-DRB1 genes. This protein complex is involved in the presentation of
antigens to CD4 T lymphocytes.;
NCIt note : HLA-DR15 alpha subunit is encoded by the HLA-DRA*01 allele. The beta subunit is polymorphic
and can be encoded by HLA-DRB1*1501, HLA-DRB1*1502, HLA-DRB1*1503, HLA-DRB1*1504,
HLA-DRB1*1505 or HLA-DRB1*1507.;
