Abstract excerpt
The major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I region extending between the Bat1 and Pou5f1 genes shows considerable genomic plasticity in mouse and rhesus macaque but not in human haplotypes. In the rat, this region is known as the RT1-CE region. The recently published rat MHC sequence gave rise to a complete set of class I gene sequences in a single MHC haplotype, namely the RT1(n) haplotype of the widely...
