High allelic polymorphism, moderate sequence diversity and diversifying selection for B-NK but not B-lec, the pair of lectin-like receptor genes in the chicken MHC.

Immunogenetics - 1 Aug 2008

Rogers Sally L, Kaufman Jim

Abstract excerpt

We previously characterised the C-type lectin-like receptor genes B-NK and B-lec, located next to each other in opposite orientations in the chicken major histocompatibility complex (MHC). We showed that B-NK is an inhibitory receptor expressed on natural killer cells, whereas B-lec is an activation-induced receptor with a broader expression pattern. It is interesting to note that the chicken MHC has been linked...
