Chickens have two major regions encoding major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class Ialpha genes and MHC class IIss genes, the serological and functional B-system and the Rfp-Y-system. Recently, they have been shown to assort in a genetically independent way although still located on the same microchromosome. Moreover, the monomorphic MHC class IIalpha gene maps at a third locus located 5 cM from the nearest...
