Here we report the sequence of the region that determines rapid allograft rejection in
chickens, the chicken major histocompatibility complex (MHC). This 92-kilobase region of …

In contrast to the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) of well-studied mammals such as
humans and mice, the particular haplotype of the BF/BL region of the chicken B locus …

Some years ago, we used our data for class I genes, proteins and peptide‐binding
specificities to develop the hypothesis that the chicken B‐F/B‐L region represents a “minimal …

Compared with the MHC of typical mammals, the chicken MHC (BF/BL region) of the B12
haplotype is smaller, simpler, and rearranged, with two classical class I genes of which only …

The major histocompatibility complex (Mhc) of the ring-necked pheasant contains two
polymorphic Mhc class II B genes. We show here, by screening of a cDNA library and RT …

The major histocompatibility complexes (B complexes) of chickens of various origins have
been studied by serological and biochemical methods. Two B complexes are of particular …

A workshop was held held at the Institute for General and Experimental Pathology,
University of Innsbruck Medical School, Austria, 9-11 Sep. 1981, to compare the MHC …

Little is known about the structure of major histocompatibility complex (MHC) molecules
outside of mammals. Only one class I molecule in the chicken MHC is highly expressed …

Birds, like mammals, have a highly polymorphic MHC that determines strong allograft
rejection. However, in contrast to mammals, there are a number of viral diseases for which …

A genetic recombinant within the major histocompatibility (B) complex of the chicken has
revealed the chromosomal subregion effecting resistance to Marek's disease—a malignant …
