title: A class I cDNA from SPAFAS line-11 chickens.
abstract: A chicken MHC class I (B-F) cDNA from SPAFAS line 11 embryonic liver tissue was isolated and characterized by nucleotide sequencing. Comparing this sequence with previously described B-F cDNAs highlights clustered nucleotide substitutions in exon 3, encoding amino acids located on the alpha-helical region of the alpha 2 domain.
