Isolation and characterization of cDNA clones for chicken major histocompatibility complex class II molecules

Abstract

Sung, Aree Moon, "Isolation and characterization of cDNA clones for chicken major histocompatibility complex class II molecules " (1989). Retrospective Theses and Dissertations. 9089. http://lib.dr.iastate.edu/rtd/9089 INFORMATION TO USERSThe most advanced technology has been used to photo graph and reproduce this manuscript from the microfilm master. UMI films the text directly from the original or copy submitted. Thus, some thesis and dissertation copies are in typewriter face, while others may be from any type of computer printer.The quality of this reproduction is dependent upon the quality of the copy submitted. Broken or indistinct print, colored or poor quality illustrations and photographs, print bleedthrough, substandard margins, and improper alignment can adversely affect reproduction.In the unlikely event that the author did not send UMI a complete manuscript and there are missing pages, these will be noted. Also, if unauthorized copyright material had to be removed, a note will indicate the deletion.Oversize materials (e.g., maps, drawings, charts) are re produced by sectioning the original, beginning at the upper left-hand comer and continuing from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. Each original is also photographed in one exposure and is included in reduced form at the back of the book. These are also available as one exposure on a standard 35mm slide or as a 17" x 23" black and white photographic print for an additional charge.

Establishment of six homozygous MHC-B haplotype populations associated with susceptibility to Marek’s disease in Chinese specific pathogen-free BWEL chickens

“…A: Bursa of Fabricius; B: spleen; C: liver; D: thymus; E: glandular stomach; F: pancreas and duodenum. Iglesias et al, 2003;Juul-Madsen et al, 1993), single-strand conformation polymorphism (Goto et al, 2002), DNA sequence (Miller et al, 2004;Sung et al, 1993) and sequence-specific PCR (Livant and Ewald, 2005;Zheng et al, 1999). However, these methods are not always practical for large numbers of samples.…”

Dramatic differences in the response of macrophages from B2 and B19 MHC-defined haplotypes to interferon gamma and polyinosinic:polycytidylic acid stimulation

“…Several studies have demonstrated an association between the chicken MHC-B haplotype and resistance to various pathogens including Marek's disease virus, avian leukosis virus, Newcastle disease virus, Rous sarcoma virus, and Salmonella (Heinzelmann et al, 1981;Briles et al, 1982;Lamont, 1989;Dunnington et al, 1992;Yoo and Sheldon, 1992;Mays et al, 2005;Kim et al, 2008;Banat et al, 2013). Described in 1950 (Briles et al, 1950), at least 51 B haplotypes of the chicken B complex have been identified using traditional serological techniques (Briles and Briles, 1987;Landesman et al, 1993;Sung et al, 1993;Miller et al, 2004) or gene sequencing, RFLP, single-strand conformational poly-morphism, and SNP (Juul-Madsen et al, 1993;Fulton et al, 2006;Juul-Madsen et al, 2006).…”

Poultry immunogenetics

“…A minimum of six Class I genes (Kaufman et al, 1992) [20] and six Class II genes (Zoorob et al, 1993) [51] have been successfully replicated. The Class II /3 genes that are expressed appear to be grouped in a single isotope family (Pharr et al, 1993a;Sung et al, 1993) [34,41] . Polymorphisms in the putative antigen-binding site of chicken Class II have been found (Pharr et al, 1993b) [35] .…”
