Abstract excerpt
We analyzed the polymorphic nature of eleven alleles expressed by the major class I locus (B-FIV) in chickens. Similar to mammalian class I loci, the nucleotide substitutions with high variability occur in exons 2 and 3 encoding the alpha1 and alpha2 domains. However, the nonsynonymous to synonymous ratio of nucleotide substitutions in exon 3 encoding the alpha helix and beta sheets is reversed compared with HLA....
