Abstract excerpt
It is still unknown about the VH gene organization and diversity of the immunoglobulin (Ig) heavy chain locus in Amur sturgeon. In this study, Ig heavy chain alleles were cloned by RT-PCR using the specific primers. Sequence analysis showed that Amur sturgeon's VH regions belonged to the same family with higher than 90% identities of their leader peptide (LP). Moreover, a number of conserved motifs in the D...
