Abstract excerpt
Marek's disease (MD) is a lymphoproliferative disease caused by a member of the herpesvirus family, and the best understood genetic resistance to MD involves the chicken major histocompatibility complex (MHC) B-complex. Preliminary observations have suggested that MHC-like Rfp-Y genes might also influence the incidence of MD. This study describes the differentiation and definition of unique Rfp-Y genes in inbred...
