"Rous sarcoma virus (RSV)-induced tumor growth was examined in congenic lines of chickens with different major histocompatibility (B) complex recombinant haplotypes on the highly inbred line UCD 003 (B17B17) genetic background. Males bearing an individual B complex recombinant were mated to UCD 003 females followed by 10 backcross generations," scientists in the United States report.
"Matings among heterozygotes for each recombinant produced homozygous chickens estimated to contain 99.9% of the line UCD 003 background genome. The 5 lines having distinct serologically identified MHC recombinant haplotypes, which arose from separate recombinational events, were as ...
