Abstract excerpt
Using a chicken Class II MHC clone in Northern blot analysis, tissue-specific expression of turkey Class II MHC genes was observed in the embryonic bursa of Fabricius as well as in the adult spleen. In contrast, there was no detectable expression in the embryonic liver, brain, or spleen. Southern blot analysis of BamHI-digested turkey DNA revealed two restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) patterns that...
