Abstract excerpt
Immunoglobulin heavy chain (IgH) variable (V) region cDNAs from the Atlantic salmon, Salmo salar L., have been isolated and analysed with respect to diversity and transcription of the two parallel IgH isoloci in this species. A total of nine V(H) families were defined according to the 80% identity criterion, of which seven were highly related (>80% identity) to the V(H) families defined in rainbow trout and...
