emm3.40 (emm-cluster A-C5) subtype determining region. Identity to bases 31-180 and ungapped identity or near-identity to the entire 180 base sequence defines this subtype. emm3.40 from upper respiratory isolate 1RP228(multilocus sequence type ST15) recovered during 1959 in New York. Unusual in that the M protein is predicted to be truncated due to an 8 base insertion (bases 184-191).
