Abstract excerpt
The objective of this study is to describe the gene characteristics of the bovine lymphocyte antigen (BoLA)-DQB exon 2 locus in Chinese yakow (Bos grunniens × Bos taurus) and to compare it with previously reported patterns in other bovidae species to investigate genetic factors for disease resistance. The exon 2 of the MHC class II DQB gene was cloned and sequenced. It was revealed by sequence analyses that there...
