Patterns of interallelic divergence at the rabbit b-locus of the immunoglobulin light chain constant region are in agreement with population genetical evidence for overdominant selection.

Abstract excerpt
Population studies at the b-locus of the "constant" regions of the rabbit immunoglobulin kappa 1 light chain (c kappa 1) revealed patterns of gene diversity resembling those that mark the peculiar nature of the major histocompatibility complex, such as large number of alleles, high heterozygosity...
