HLA-B40 Antigen

A specific HLA-B surface antigen subtype. Members of this subtype contain alpha chains that are encoded by the HLA-B*40 allele family.

Also Known As:

HLA Class I Histocompatibility Antigen, B-40 alpha Chain; HLA-B40; Antigen, HLA-B40; HLA B40 Antigen; HLA Class I Histocompatibility Antigen, B 40 alpha Chain
