major histocompatibility complex (human), class I, B63
Alleles	*1516, *1517
Structure (See HLA-B)
Shared data
Locus	chr.6 6p21.31

HLA-B63 (B63) is an HLA-B serotype. The serotype identifies certain B*15 gene-allele protein products of HLA-B.^[1]

B63 is one of many split antigens of the broad antigen, B15. B63 identifies the B*1516 and B*1517 allele products.
