Abstract excerpt
Chicken major histocompatibility complex (MHC) molecules present peptides to T cells to initiate immune response. Some variants of the chicken MHC, such as B19 and B21 haplotypes, are strongly associated with susceptibility and resistance to Marek's disease, respectively. The objective of the present study was to characterize the repertoire and origin of self-peptides presented by chicken MHC class II (B-L)...
