Abstract excerpt
Four full-length ovine major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II A cDNA clones coding for new alleles of DRA, DQA1 and DQA2 genes were isolated from two ovine lambda gt10 cDNA libraries. The derived amino acid sequences of these clones resemble class II A molecules from other species in both size and structure. Restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis, using an Ovar-DRA probe on DNA from Merino and...
