The simple chicken major histocompatibility complex: life and death in the face of pathogens and vaccines.

Philosophical transactions of the Royal Society of London. Series B, Biological sciences - 29 Aug 2000

Kaufman J

Abstract excerpt

In contrast to the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) of well-studied mammals such as humans and mice, the particular haplotype of the B-F/B-L region of the chicken B locus determines life and death in response to certain infectious pathogens as well as to certain vaccines. We found that the B-F/B-L region is much smaller and simpler than the typical mammalian MHC, with an important difference being the...
