Abstract excerpt
New arrangements of chicken major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I BF and class IV BG genes are created through recombination. Characterizing the immune responses of such recombinants reveals genes or gene regions that contribute to immunity. Inbred Line UCD 003 (B17B17) served as the genetic background for congenic lines, each containing a unique MHC recombinant. After an initial cross to introduce a...
