Abstract excerpt
In Leghorn (laying) chickens, susceptibility to a number of infectious diseases is strongly associated with the major histocompatibility (B) complex. Nucleotide sequence data have been published for six class I (B-F) alleles and for class II (B-L beta) alleles or isotypes from 17 Leghorn haplotypes. It is not known if classical B-L or B-F alleles in broilers are identical, at the sequence level, to any Leghorn...
