Abstract excerpt

The allelic diversity of exon 2 (DQB gene) and exon 3 (DRB gene) of major histocompatibility complex class II was studied for the first time in two species of the landlocked pinnipeds, Baikal (N = 79) and Caspian (N = 32) seals, and these were compared with the widespread Arctic species, the ringed seal (N = 13). The analysis of the second exon comprising the antigen-binding region revealed high allelic diversity...
