Abstract excerpt
Two quail lines, H and L, which were developed for high (H) and low (L) antibody production against inactivated Newcastle disease virus antigen, were used to examine differences in the organization, structure and expression of the quail Mhc class IIB genes. Four Coja class IIB genes in the H line and ten Coja class IIB genes in the L line were identified by gene amplification using standard and long-range PCRs...
