Abstract excerpt
The roles of mutational and recombinational processes in the diversification of the exon encoding the antigen binding site in the murine major histocompatibility complex class II gene Ab were assessed by phylogenetic analysis of allelic nucleotide sequences. A total of 46 alleles of Ab exon 2 from 12 Mus species or subspecies and 2 Rattus species were sequenced after amplification by the polymerase chain...
