Organization of Mhc class II A and B genes in the tilapiine fish Oreochromis.

Abstract excerpt

Perch-like fishes of the family Cichlidae are models for the study of speciation. An important tool in these studies is the major histocompatibility complex (Mhc) and its organization. The present study takes the first step toward the elucidation of the Mhc class II gene organization in the tilapiine fish Oreochromis niloticus (Orni). Using class II A- and class II B-specific probes, Mhc-bearing clones were...
