| a single predominantly expressed polymorphic immunoglobulin vh gene family, related to mammalian group, i, clan, ii, is identified in cattle. | in order to understand the generation of antibody diversity in cattle, seven cdnas, from heterohybridomas secreting bovine igm and igg1 antibodies, were cloned and structurally analyzed for rearranged bovine vdj genes. all of the seven bovine vh genes, together with four available bovine vh gene sequences, shared a high nucleotide sequence homology (84.2-93.5%). based upon the criteria of nucleic acid homology > or =80%, all of the bovine vh gene sequences isolated from the expressed antibody re ... | 1997 | 9393967 |
| bola antigens are associated with increased frequency of persistent lymphocytosis in bovine leukaemia virus infected cattle and with increased incidence of antibodies to bovine leukaemia virus. | the association between bovine major histocompatibility system (bola) type and persistent lymphocytosis in cattle with antibodies to bovine leukaemia virus was examined by comparing antigen frequencies in cattle with persistent lymphocytosis to controls matched for age, sex, breed and presence of antibodies to blv. the cattle came from nine dairy herds in south-east queensland, australia; six herds were australian illawarra shorthorn (ais), two herds were jersey and one herd was friesian. antige ... | 1988 | 2843067 |
