Understanding chicken BG genes at the RNA and protein levels
2019-01-01
Abstract excerpt
The chicken BG system is a highly polymorphic and polygenic multigene family encoding type I transmembrane proteins, with butryophilins as homologues in mammals, some of which are crucial in T cell regulation. There are three genomic locations where BG genes are found: one singleton BG gene (BG0) on chromosome 2, another singleton gene (BG1) in BF-BL region (the so-called minimal essential chicken MHC) on chromoso...
