MHC variation in birds and reptiles.

Genetica - 1 Jan 1998

Wittzell H, Madsen T, Westerdahl H, Shine R, von Schantz T

Abstract excerpt

The major histocompatibility complex (MHC) has been studied in a multitude of mammals by now, but much less is known about its organisation and variation in other vertebrate species. The mammalian MHC is organised as a single gene cluster, but recent studies on birds suggest that this paradigm of MHC organisation has to be supplemented. The domestic chicken thus possesses two separate gene clusters which both...
