Nearly all genes presently mapped to chicken chromosome 16 (GGA 16) have either a
demonstrated role in immune responses or are considered to serve in immunity by reason of …

The high polymorphism of classical Mhc molecules found in mammals is not simply the
result of strong selection for pathogen resistance in the recent past, since there are virtually …

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 …

Marek's disease (MD) is a naturally occurring lymphomatous neoplasm of fowl.'-4 Lesions in
the nervous system, described as a" polyneuritis", were first reported in 1907 by Josef …

Compared with the MHC of typical mammals, the chicken MHC is smaller and simpler, with
only two class I genes found in the B12 haplotype. We make five points to show that there is …

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 …

Analyses of the major histocompatibility complex (Mhc) in chickens have shown
inconsistencies between serologically defined haplotypes and haplotypes defined by the …

Major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I and class II molecules bind to and display
peptidic antigens acquired from pathogens that are recognized by lymphocytes coordinating …

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 …

The first standard nomenclature for the chicken (Gallus gallus) major histocompatibility (B)
complex published in 1982 describing chicken major histocompatibility complex (MHC) …
