Abstract
The multi-locus nature of the major histocompatibility complex in the mouse and in man has been well established (1, 2). The association of the major histocompatibility complex of the chicken with immune response to specific antigens (3), complement activity (4), and susceptibility to Marek’s Disease (5,6), has heightened interest in the genetic nature of the B chromosomal region of this species. From functional and evolutionary standpoints, it would be informative to learn to what extent such multi-locus complexity also characterizes the major histocompatibility system in this phylogenetically more primitive species.
