Abstract excerpt
This study investigated the MHC DRB genes in the Arabian camel (Camelus dromedarius). The results revealed the presence of - at least - two transcribed DRB-like genes in chromosome 20, designated MhcCadr-DRB1 and MhcCadr-DRB2. These genes are 155 Kb apart, have similar gene structure, and are transcribed in opposite directions. Compared to DRB1, the DRB2 locus contains a deletion of 12 nucleotides in the second...
