Evolution of the porcine (Sus scrofa domestica) immunoglobulin kappa locus through germline gene conversion.

Immunogenetics - 1 Apr 2012

Schwartz John C, Lefranc Marie-Paule, Murtaugh Michael P

Abstract excerpt

Immunoglobulin (IG) gene rearrangement and expression are central to disease resistance and health maintenance in animals. The IG kappa (IGK) locus in swine (Sus scrofa domestica) contributes to approximately half of all antibody molecules, in contrast to many other Cetartiodactyla, whose members provide the majority of human dietary protein and in which kappa locus utilization is limited. The porcine IGK...
