Abstract excerpt

The major histocompatibility (B) complex of the chicken contains genes similar to Class I (B-F) and Class II (B-L beta) genes in mammals, as well as a highly-polymorphic gene family (B-G) whose exact function is not known. Specific B-haplotypes are strongly associated with resistance to a number...
