High Levels of Genetic Variation in MHC-Linked Microsatellite Markers from Native Chicken Breeds

High Levels of Genetic Variation in MHC-Linked Microsatellite Markers from Native Chicken Breeds

The major histocompatibility complex (MHC) is a highly polymorphic gene region that regulates cellular communication in all specific immune responses. In this study, we investigated 11 microsatellite (MS) markers in the MHC-<i>B</i> region of chicken populations from four countries: Sri...
