Certain haplotypes at the major histocompatibility (B) complex (Mhc) of the chicken provide an easily demonstrated influence on tumor formation following infections with Marek's disease virus (MDV). Recognition that there is a second histocompatibility complex of genes in the chicken, Rfp-Y, comprised of Mhc class I and class II genes, some of which are at least transcribed, evokes the question of whether this...
