HLA-B81
HLA-B81 (B81) is an HLA-B serotype. The serotype identifies the HLA-B*8101 and B*8102 (very rare) gene products.[1] B81 is more common in Subsaharan Africa. While there is a B81 serotype, serotyping of B81 is poor when simultaneously tested with anti-B7 or B48 antibodies.[2] (For terminology help see: HLA-serotype tutorial) Additional recommended knowledgeSerotype
The serotype recognition of B*8101 is poor and is best identified by genetic techniques such as SSP-PCR and gene sequencing. Allele frequencies
HLA-B81 corresponds to a single allele B*8101. There are no characterized haplotypes of this allele that span multiple regions, though rare haplotypes certainly exist. The frequency in Kenya, Zimbabwe and Cameroon suggest that B81 probably expanded from core groups of Africans in Tanzania, Zambia or the Congo but with a limited spread do to its initial low frequency.
