Abstract excerpt
The chicken major histocompatibility complex (MHC) plays an important role in the immune response, disease resistance, productivity, and other important economic traits of the chicken. Therefore, a description of the polymorphisms of this region is crucial for understanding the genetic pattern of the MHC. The tandem repeat LEI0258 is located within the B region of the chicken MHC and is surprisingly strongly...
