Concerted evolution of two Mhc class II B loci in pheasants and domestic chickens.

Molecular biology and evolution - 1 Apr 1999

Wittzell H, Bernot A, Auffray C, Zoorob R

Abstract excerpt

The major histocompatibility complex (Mhc) of the ring-necked pheasant contains two polymorphic Mhc class II B genes. We show here, by screening of a cDNA library and RT-PCR from RNA, that both of these loci, Phco-DAB1 and Phco-DAB2, normally are transcribed in the spleen. They differ mainly in the 3' untranslated (UT) region, with the transcript lengths, not including the poly(A) tails, being 1,100 nt for DAB1...
