Abstract excerpt
The protein sequences of different alleles of the rabbit immunoglobulin IGKC1 gene can differ at more than 40% of the amino acid positions. This exceptional degree of allelic divergence raises questions concerning the causal underlying mechanisms. We report the DNA sequence of the coding region of an allotype which is associated with the mitochondrial lineage A (Southwestern Spain). At the serological level, this...
