The chicken BF1 (classical MHC class I) gene shows evidence of selection for diversity in expression and in promoter and signal peptide regions.

Immunogenetics - 1 Apr 2009

O'Neill Ann Marie, Livant Emily J, Ewald Sandra J

Abstract excerpt

The chicken MHC B contains two classical class I genes, BF1 and BF2, with the exception of two related haplotypes lacking BF1 due to insertion/rearrangement. In light of functional specialization of BF1 and BF2 molecules, we were interested in evaluating their relative expression at the mRNA level. We evaluated several MHC haplotypes for class I gene expression by RT-quantitative PCR. BF1 transcript levels were...
