Frequencies and genetic diversity of major histocompatibility complex class II haplotypes in commercial turkey lines.

Abstract excerpt

The purpose of the present study was to estimate frequencies and diversity of MHC haplotypes in primary breeding lines of commercial turkeys. Restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis was used to assay MHC Class II haplotypes of blood samples from 11 primary breeding lines (comprised of both sire and dam lines) contributed by three major turkey breeding companies. Twenty-five blood samples obtained from...
