Polymorphism of the functional immunoglobulin variable region genes in the chicken by exchange of sequence with donor pseudogenes.

European journal of immunology - 1 Oct 1993

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 demonstrates that random point mutations are likely not the predominant cause of allelic variation at these loci. Comparison...
