Abstract excerpt
IgM represents the main immunoglobulin isotype shared by all teleost fish. However, Antarctic fish IgM possess a peculiar hinge region, which connects the CH2 and CH3 domains, not seen in any other teleost species. In the present study allelic polymorphism of IgM gene of the Antarctic teleost Trematomus benacchii was investigated. By nucleotide sequencing the entire Immunoglobulin heavy chain constant region from...
