β¦ Synopsis
Six distinct serotypes of the chicken B blood group system (which encodes the major histocompatibility complex) were identified in a commercial broiler breeder line (Line C). The B serotypes were compared by BβG restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analysis, alleleβspecific PCR typing test for BβLBII family genes and nucleotide sequence analysis of expressed BβF and BβLBII family genes. The results indicated the existence of seven distinct B haplotypes. Nucleotide sequence analysis demonstrated that three of the Line C haplotypes encode new BβF and BβLB alleles.
