A novel HLA-B allele, B*5535, was identified by sequence-based typing in a Chinese individual.
A novel human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-B allele, B*5535, has been identified in a Chinese individual by sequence-based typing, which has seven nucleotide changes from the closest matching allele B*5502 resulting in two amino acids changes: 69 Glu-->Met; 70 Glu-->Ala.
