The major histocompatibility complex (MHC) of G. gallus is the B complex of which 3 classes of cell-membrane antigens have been clearly defined by serological, histogenetic and biochemical methods. Two of these classes are homologous to classes I and II of mammals (B-F and B-L, respectively), while the 3rd (B-G) is a differentiation antigen of the erythroid cell line; the mammalian homologue of this class is still undefined. The B haplotypes comprise at least 1 gene of each class that displays linkage disequilibrium of a remarkable strength. The 1st systematic comparison by serological and histogenic methods of the allelic products (allomorphs) of 15 haplotypes, including all of the 11 that were accepted as standard B haplotypes at the recent international workshop on the chicken MHC in Innsbruck, Austria is presented. The analysis has revealed many similarities, but only 4 pairs of probable identities: G2 and G12, F4 and F13, L4 and L13, L12 and L19. The B-G locus is apparently comparable in its degree of polymorphism to the class I (B-F) locus. The standard haplotypes are almost all of White Leghorn derivation, and preliminary typings of other breeds of chickens and of wild chickens indicate the existence of a much wider spectrum of allomorphs.
