Cattle MHC nomenclature: is it possible to assign sequences to discrete class I genes?

abstract：:Apoptosis has been suggested as a major mechanism for the CD4(+) T-lymphocyte depletion observed in patients infected with human immunodeficiency virus 1 (HIV-1). To evaluate the impact of genetic variations to apoptosis during progression of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), we have performed an extensive ge...
