Hr. Juulmadsen et al., RESTRICTION-FRAGMENT-LENGTH-POLYMORPHISM ANALYSIS OF THE CHICKEN B-F AND B-L GENES AND THEIR ASSOCIATION WITH SEROLOGICALLY DEFINED B-HAPLOTYPES, Animal genetics, 24(4), 1993, pp. 243-247
Seven serologically defined chicken haplotypes have been analysed by r
estriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) with chicken cDNA probe
s specific for MHC class I and II. The results demonstrate an excellen
t correlation between the observed RFLP banding patterns in the invest
igated haplotypes and the serological B-typing. In future, RFLP analys
is in addition to serological B-typing may sharpen the tools in the se
arch for recombinant chromosomes separating B-F and B-L.
