HLA-DPB1*04

Target
HLA-DPB1*04
Molecular classification
MHC Class II, Receptor
01

Overview

HLA-DPB1*04 refers to a specific allele of the HLA-DPB1 gene, which encodes the beta chain of the HLA-DP molecule—a member of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II family. The primary function of this molecule is to present peptide antigens derived from extracellular proteins to CD4+ T cells, thereby initiating and regulating immune responses. Variants like HLA-DPB1*04 play roles in susceptibility/protection for autoimmune diseases, response kinetics after vaccination/infection (e.g., hepatitis B), risk stratification for transplant outcomes due to donor-specific antibody formation, and shaping overall immunopeptidome diversity. HLA-DPB1*04-restricted presentation refers specifically to how this MHC class II variant binds select peptides for display on APC surfaces, influencing downstream adaptive immune recognition events based on its unique structural features and expression profile determined by genetic background.
