[5][6] HLA-DMB belongs to the HLA class II beta chain paralogues.
This class II molecule is a heterodimer consisting of an alpha (DMA) and a beta (DMB) chain, both anchored in the membrane.
Its role in tumor immunology is undefined but has been shown to positively correlated with increased T-cell infiltration and improved prognosis in ovarian cancer.
Differential immune processes mediated by HLA-DMB may contribute to the disparity in cancer outcome.
