The frequency of the MHC haplotype B15 had been found in a previous study to be more than two times higher in a White Leghorn line selected for high egg production compared with the unselected control strain. To further evaluate these findings, matings were performed between chickens with the same heterozygous B genotypes, being combinations of the most frequent haplotypes, i.e., B15, B19, and B21. In total, more...
