HLA-DR15 (DR15) is a HLA-DR serotype that recognizes the DRB1*1501 to *1505 and *1507 gene products. DR15 is found at high levels from Ireland to Central Asia. DR15 is part of the older HLA-DR2 serotype group which also contains the similar HLA-DR16 antigens.

Serology

DR15, DR2 and other serotype recognition of some DRB1*15 alleles[1]
DRB1* DR15 DR2 DR16 Sample
allele % % % size (N)
1501 76 23 6428
1502 77 16 676
1503 81 13 286
1504 >50 1
1505 >25 2
1507 >50 1

Serotypes are unknown for the following alleles: DRB1*1506, *1508 to *1516, *1518 to *1522. DRB1*1517N is a null.
