In this study the characterisation of the Atlantic salmon (MhcSasa-DAA) and rainbow trout (MhcOnmy-DAA) class II alpha chain cDNA sequences is presented. The DAA sequences from these two salmonid species showed a high degree of similarity, although the Onmy-DAA(*)03 cDNA sequence differed in the cytoplasmic region. Interestingly, the Onmy-DAA(*)02 sequence has lost the second cysteine in the alpha-1 domain....
