REAGENTS AND METHODS FOR DETECTING GENES RELATED TO MAJOR HISTOCOMPATIBILITY COMPLEX OF DOMESTIC FOWL, SUCH AS CHICKEN

摘要

The invention concerns nucleic acid molecules for detecting the MHC genes involved in phenomena of resistance or proneness to the development of virus-induced tumours. The primers prepared from said molecules can be used in a method for genotyping domestic fowl, characterised in that it consists in: amplifying a nucleic acid sample derived from the animal under study using one or several pairs of primers capable of being specifically hybridised with the nucleic acid of a pleomorphic region of the Rfp-Y or B systems of the MHC of said fowl; detecting the resulting PCR products.
