By cross-hybridization in low stringency conditions, using a probe derived from an HLA-DQ beta cDNA clone, we have isolated several chicken genomic DNA clones. These clones were mapped to the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) of the chick (B complex) by virtue of their ability to detect restriction enzyme length polymorphisms between congenic lines of chicken. Evidence was obtained for the presence of at least three B-L beta genes in the chicken genome. The B-L beta genes are transcribed specifically in tissues containing cells of the B lymphocyte and myeloid lineages and expressing the B-L antigens. Exons encoding the beta 1, beta 2 and transmembrane domains of a B-L beta chain have been identified with 63, 66 and 62% similarity with the HLA-DQ beta sequence. This first isolation of an MHC class II gene outside of the mammalian class provides insight into the evolution of MHC genes based on the comparison of avian and mammalian class II beta chain amino acid and nucleotide sequences. 相似文献

Isolation and characterization of cDNA clones for chicken major histocompatibility complex class II molecules 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
The chicken major histocompatibility complex (MHC), the B complex, is being intensively analysed at the DNA level. To further probe the molecular structure of chicken MHC class II genes, cDNA clones coding for chicken MHC class II (B-L) p chain molecules were isolated from an inbred G-B2 Leghorn chicken spleen and liver. Twenty-nine cDNA clones were isolated from the spleen and eight cDNA clones were isolated from the liver. Based on restriction maps, most clones could be clustered into one family of genes. Four cDNA clones were sequenced (S7, S10 and S19 from the spleen and L1, which was identical to S19, from the liver). Complete amino acid sequences of B-Lβ chain molecules were predicted from the nucleotide sequences of the cDNA clones. Although both the nature and the location of the conserved residues were similar in chicken and mammalian sequences, some species-specific differences were found, suggesting that the structures of the B-L molecules of this haplotype are similar, but not identical, to their mammalian counterparts. 相似文献

The HLA-D region of the human major histocompatibility complex encodes the genes for the alpha and beta chains of the DP, DQ and DR class II antigens. A cDNA clone encoding a new class II beta chain (designated DO) was isolated from a library constructed from mRNA of a mutant B-cell line having a single HLA haplotype. Complete cDNA clones encoding the four isotypic beta chains of the DR1, DQw1, DPw2 and putative DO antigens were sequenced. The DO beta gene was mapped in the D region by hybridization with DNA of HLA-deletion mutants. DO beta mRNA expression is low in B-cell lines but remains in mutant lines which have lost expression of other class II genes. Unlike other class II genes DO beta is not induced by gamma-interferon in fibroblast lines. The DO beta gene is distinct from the DP beta, DQ beta and DR beta genes in its pattern of nucleotide divergence. The independent evolution and expression of DO beta suggest that it may be part of a functionally distinct class II molecule. 相似文献

The chicken major histocompatibility complex (MHC-B locus) has a strong association with resistance and susceptibility to numerous diseases. We have found a B haplotype designated WLA that associated with the regression of tumours caused by Rous sarcoma virus J strain (RSV-J). Haplotype WLA was identical to the regressive B6 haplotype when partial genotyping was performed (Poultry Science, 89, 2010, 651). We then constructed a bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) library from a WLA homozygote chicken to evaluate the structure of this regression haplotype and compared it to those of the B6 haplotype. Comparison between WLA and B6 above 59 kb within the 167 kb, including 14 genes from BG1 to BF2, revealed 75 SNPs and 14 indels. However, several genes were identical between WLA and B6, including the BF1 and BF2 genes, which encode a class I molecule previously suggested to be related to the regression phenotype. The BLB2 gene encoding the MHC class II beta chain showed the greatest diversity, with 19 non-synonymous SNPs. A comparison of WLA and B6 haplotpyes that are associated with tumour regression and RIRa and B24 haplotypes associated with tumour progression suggests that DMA1, DMA2, BRD2, TAPBP and BLB2 genes are not involved in the intensity of RSV J tumour regression. 相似文献

Analysis by molecular cloning of the human class II genes 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
The HLA class II genes control immune responsiveness to defined antigens; they encode cell surface heterodimers composed of alpha and beta glycopeptides. Recently, cDNA and genomic clones encoding these chains have been isolated, which allows molecular analysis of the class II genes. cDNA clones encoding the alpha chain of the HLA-DR antigen as well as that of another HLA class II antigen have been identified and characterized by nucleotide sequence analysis. These clones have been used as probes to isolate additional class II alpha cDNA clones in cDNA libraries and to identify polymorphisms in genomic DNA. Polymorphic restriction sites have been localized within the HLA-DR alpha gene and used as genetic markers in the analysis of families and of disease (insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus) and control populations. In addition, cDNA clones encoding the DR beta and DC beta chains were used as hybridization probes to identify DNA polymorphism. cDNA clones encoding the DR gamma (Ii) chain have also been identified; unlike the DR alpha and DR beta loci, the DR gamma gene is located on some chromosome other than chromosome 6. The genetic complexity of the human class II alpha and beta loci, as revealed by analysis with cDNA and genomic clones, is greater than that of the murine class II genes. The extent of that complexity will be defined by future work in this area. 相似文献

Class II genes of the bovine major histocompatibility complex (MHC) have been cloned from a genomic library. The library was constructed in the bacteriophage lambda vector EMBL3 and comprises approximately 10 times the equivalent of the haploid genome. Half the library was screened with the human DQA, DQB, DRA and DRB cDNA probes. Of the 100 positively hybridizing phage clones, 37 were eventually fully characterized and mapped by means of Southern blot analysis. The exons encoding the first, second and transmembrane domain of all different A and B genes were subcloned and mapped in more detail. These analyses showed that these 37 clones were derived from five different A and 10 different B genes. The hybridization studies indicate that we have cloned and mapped two DQA genes, one DRA gene, two other A genes, four DQB genes, three DRB genes and three other B genes. Since the library was made from a heterozygous animal, this would suggest that there are at least one DQA, one DRA one other undefined A, two DQB, two DRB and one or two other undefined B genes in the haploid genome of Holstein Friesian cattle. 相似文献

The chimpanzee (Pan troglodytes, Patr) is the closest zoological living relative of humans and shares approximately 98.6% genetic homology to human beings. Although major histocompatibility complex (MHC) plays a critical role in T cell-mediated immune responses in vertebrates, the information on Patr MHC remains at a relatively poor level. Therefore, we attempted to isolate Patr MHC class II genes and determine their nucleotide sequences. The cDNAs encoding Patr MHC class II DP, DQ and DR beta chains were isolated from the cDNA library of a chimpanzee B lymphocyte cell line Bch261. As a result of screening, the clone 6-3-1 as a representative of Patr DP clone, clone 30-1 as a Patr DQ clone, and clones 4-7-1 and 55-1 having different sequences as Patr DR clones were detected. The clone 6-3-1 consisted of 1,062 nucleotides including an open reading frame (ORF) of 777 bp. In the same way, clone 30-1 consisted of 1,172 nucleotides including ORF of 786 bp, clones 4-7-1 and 55-1 consisted of 1,163 nucleotides including ORF of 801 bp. Except for five nucleotide changes, clones 4-7-1 and 55-1 were the same sequence. By comparison with the nucleotide sequences already reported on chimpanzee MHC class II beta 1 genes, clones 6-3-1, 30-1, 4-7-1 and 55-1 were classified as PatrDPB1*16, PatrDQB1*0302, PatrDRB1*0201 and PatrDRB1*0204, respectively. This is the first report to describe complete cDNA sequences of Patr DP and DQ molecules. The nucleotide sequence data of Patr MHC class II genes obtained in this study will be useful for the genotyping of Patr MHC class II genes in individual chimpanzees. 相似文献

Certain haplotypes of the major histocompatibility (B) complex are strongly associated with resistance or susceptibility to several infectious diseases in Leghorn chickens. Identification of chicken haplotypes based on the nucleotide sequence of B complex loci could provide more precise identification of haplotypes than traditional serological methods. We report the development and application of polymerase chain reaction with sequence specific primers (PCR-SSP) to type broiler chicken B haplotypes based on the DNA sequence of B-L beta II family genes. Five well-defined standard B haplotypes from White Leghorns and 12 recently characterized B haplotypes from a broiler breeder line were used to develop the test system. The B-L beta II family loci were amplified from genomic DNA by B-L beta II family specific primers and then characterized by PCR-SSP. In total, ten pairs of primers, derived from the sequences of expressed B-L beta II family alleles, were used in the PCR typing test to discriminate the chicken B haplotypes identified previously by serological means. The PCR-SSP showed that each haplotype had a different amplification pattern, except those haplotypes known or suspected to have the same B-L beta alleles. Cloning and sequencing of the family specific PCR products indicated that two loci in the B-L beta II family, presumably B-L beta I and B-L beta II, were amplified. Finally, B-L beta PCR-SSP typing was used in combination with B-G RFLP analyses to characterize unusual (variant) B serotypes; the results indicate that some of these are natural recombinants within the B complex. 相似文献

The SB region of the human major histocompatibility complex (MHC) has been cloned from cosmid and lambda phage libraries made from the human B-lymphoblastoid cell line Priess (DR4/4, DC4/4, SB3/4). Two alpha genes and two beta genes are encoded in the 100 kb long SB region in the order SB alpha-SB beta-SX alpha-SX beta. The SB alpha and SB beta genes encode the alpha and beta subunits of the SB subset of class II MHC molecules. Both the SX alpha and the SX beta genes are pseudogenes in the haplotype examined. From the isolated clones, the two haplotypes of the Priess cell line, SB3 and SB4, are distinguished by nucleotide sequencing and blot hybridization analyses. Restriction site polymorphisms between the SB3 and SB4 clones were observed only in relatively small regions of the SB beta and SX beta genes. A mouse macrophage cell line was transfected with one of the cosmid clones containing both SB alpha and SB beta genes. Expression of the alpha and beta genes was detected by fluorescene-activated cell sorting (FACS) and two-dimensional gel electrophoresis using SB-specific monoclonal antibodies. 相似文献

We are investigating the expression and linkage of major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I genes in the duck (Anas platyrhynchos) with a view toward understanding the susceptibility of ducks to two medically important viruses: influenza A and hepatitis B. In mammals, there are multiple MHC class I loci, and alleles at a locus are polymorphic and co-dominantly expressed. In contrast, in lower vertebrates the expression of one locus predominates. Southern-blot analysis and amplification of genomic sequences suggested that ducks have at least four loci encoding MHC class I. To identify expressed MHC genes, we constructed an unamplified cDNA library from the spleen of a single duck and screened for MHC class I. We sequenced 44 positive clones and identified four MHC class I sequences, each sharing approximately 85% nucleotide identity. Allele-specific oligonucleotide hybridization to a Northern blot indicated that only two of these sequences were abundantly expressed. In chickens, the dominantly expressed MHC class I gene lies adjacent to the transporter of antigen processing (TAP2) gene. To investigate whether this organization is also found in ducks, we cloned the gene encoding TAP2 from the cDNA library. PCR amplification from genomic DNA allowed us to determine that the dominantly expressed MHC class I gene was adjacent to TAP2. Furthermore, we amplified two alleles of the TAP2 gene from this duck that have significant and clustered amino acid differences that may influence the peptides transported. This organization has implications for the ability of ducks to eliminate viral pathogens.The nucleotide sequence data reported in this paper have been submitted to the GenBank nucleotide sequence database and have been assigned the accession numbers AY294416–22 相似文献

The major histocompatibility complex (MHC) is a highly polymorphic genomic region that plays a central role in the immune system. Despite its functional consistency, the genomic structure of the MHC differs substantially among organisms. In birds, the MHC-B structures of Galliformes, including chickens, have been well characterized, but information about other avian MHCs remains sparse. The Japanese Crested Ibis (Nipponia nippon, Pelecaniformes) is an internationally conserved, critically threatened species. The current Japanese population of N. nippon originates from only five founders; thus, understanding the genetic diversity among these founders is critical for effective population management. Because of its high polymorphism and importance for disease resistance and other functions, the MHC has been an important focus in the conservation of endangered species. Here, we report the structure and polymorphism of the Japanese Crested Ibis MHC class II region. Screening of genomic libraries allowed the construction of three contigs representing different haplotypes of MHC class II regions. Characterization of genomic clones revealed that the MHC class II genomic structure of N. nippon was largely different from that of chicken. A pair of MHC-IIA and -IIB genes was arranged head-to-head between the COL11A2 and BRD2 genes. Gene order in N. nippon was more similar to that in humans than to that in chicken. The three haplotypes contained one to three copies of MHC-IIA/IIB gene pairs. Genotyping of the MHC class II region detected only three haplotypes among the five founders, suggesting that the genetic diversity of the current Japanese Crested Ibis population is extremely low. The structure of the MHC class II region presented here provides valuable insight for future studies on the evolution of the avian MHC and for conservation of the Japanese Crested Ibis. 相似文献

The chicken genomic library was screened using the 32P-labelled 3'-end of avidin cDNA as a hybridization probe. A positive clone, lambda gAV12201, containing a 15-16 kb insert, was detected. The EcoRI subclones, pgAV0.4, pgAV1.8, pgAV3.3 and pgAV3.7 from the genomic clone were subjected to hybridization and restriction enzyme mapping analysis. The preliminary results suggest the existence of three structurally related genes for chicken avidin. Whether the natural gene is within the subclones can only be established when sequencing analyses of the subclones have been completed. 相似文献

The bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) system is widely used in isolation of large genomic fragments of interest. Construction of a routine BAC library requires several months for picking clones and arraying BACs into superpools in order to employ 4D-PCR to screen positive BACs, which might be time-consuming and laborious. The major histocompatibility complex (MHC) is a cluster of genes involved in the vertebrate immune system, and the classical avian MHC-B locus is a minimal essential one, occupying a 100-kb genomic region. In this study, we constructed a more effective reverse-4D BAC library for the golden pheasant, which first creates sub-libraries and then only picks clones of positive sub-libraries, and identified several MHC clones within thirty days. The full sequencing of a 97-kb reverse-4D BAC demonstrated that the golden pheasant MHC-B locus contained 20 genes and showed good synteny with that of the chicken. The notable differences between these two species were the numbers of class II B loci and NK genes and the inversions of the TAPBP gene and the TAP1-TAP2 region. Furthermore, the inverse TAP2-TAP1 was unique in the golden pheasant in comparison with that of chicken, turkey, and quail. The newly defined genomic structure of the golden pheasant MHC will give an insight into the evolutionary history of the avian MHC. 相似文献

Molecular analysis of chicken immune response genes 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
We have recently isolated immune response genes of the major histocompatibility B complex of the chicken (the B-L beta genes) by cross-hybridization in low stringency with an HLA class II beta chain probe. After reviewing the main results obtained, we present a detailed analysis of the region flanking the first gene characterized, B-L beta III. By Southern blot analysis with exon-specific probes, we demonstrate the presence of another related B-L beta gene 10 kb on the 3' side of B-L beta III, the B-L beta V gene. Moreover, retrospective analysis of the phage clones initially isolated with the HLA-DQ beta probe, using a chicken class I probe that we isolated by chromosome walking from the B-L beta genes, indicates that the B-L beta III gene is closely linked on its 5' side to a class I gene, B-FVI. 相似文献
