Abstract excerpt
As part of an ongoing elucidation of rainbow trout major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I, the polymorphism of two MHC class Ib loci was analyzed. These loci, Onmy-UCA and Onmy-UDA, are situated head-to-tail and share more than 89% nucleotide identity in their open reading frames. They share 80% identity with some trout Ia alleles. The deduced amino acid sequences suggest that the UCA and UDA molecules...
