Estimation of gene diversity at the b locus of the constant region of the immunoglobulin light chain in natural populations of European rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus) in Portugal, Andalusia and on the Azorean Islands.

Abstract excerpt

The minimal gene diversity at a locus of the antibody constant region, as estimated in natural populations of rabbit, revealed levels of heterozygosity similar to those reported for the major histocompatibility complex in human and murine populations. Sera of 416 wild rabbits were collected on the Iberian peninsula and on three islands of the Azorean archipelago and analyzed for the occurrence of the serological...
