Immunogenetic diversity of MHC class II B-Lβ genes in Brazilian Caipiras (free-range) chickens laying blue eggs

Immunogenetic diversity of MHC class II B-Lβ genes in Brazilian Caipiras (free-range) chickens laying blue eggs

IntroductionBrazilian Caipira chickens that lay blue eggs are known to possess unique genetic traits. This study investigates the immunogenetic diversity of MHC class II B-Lβ genes (B-LβI and B-LβII) in this population, aiming to assess their potential value in selective breeding programs focused on...
