Limited polymorphism at major histocompatibility complex (MHC) loci in the Swedish moose A. alces 2008-06-28 .txt text/plain 3565 181 53 The Swedish moose was analysed for genetic variability at major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I and class II DQA, DQB and DRB loci using restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) and single strand conformation polymorphism (SSCP) techniques. Since the SSCP analysis concerned an expressed DRB gene it can be concluded that the level of functional MHC class II polymorphism, at least at the DRB locus, is low in Swedish moose. As an illustration of the varying levels of MHC polymorphism in cattle and moose, a blot with bovine PVuII digests hybridized with the same human DQB probe as employed in the present study is shown in Fig. I@) . There is a clear difference between the moose and cattle as regards their degrees of MHC polymorphism in relation to their genome-wide genetic variability measured by DNA fingerprinting. ./cache/cord-010500-ajmj2hyj.txt ./txt/cord-010500-ajmj2hyj.txt
