Mapping of the chicken immunoglobulin heavy‐chain constant region gene locus reveals an inverted α gene upstream of a condensed υ gene
1 Nov 2000
Abstract excerpt
Chicken antibodies are increasingly being used as diagnostic and therapeutic tools. As only the genomic organization of the micro encoding gene was previously known, we analysed the chicken immunoglobulin Y (IgY) and IgA (upsilon and alpha chain) immunoglobulin heavy-chain constant region (IGHC) genes and the organization of the chicken IGHC locus. The alpha gene is encoded by four separate exons, whereas,...
