Benatar T, Ratcliffe M J
Abstract excerpt
We have isolated a number of new allelic variants of the unique functional genes encoding chicken immunoglobulin heavy and light chain variable regions (VH1 and VL1, respectively). The distribution and nature of nucleotide variation among these and previously identified VH1 and VL1 alleles demons...
