Avian Model for B‐Cell Immunology – New Genomes and Phylotranscriptomics
Abstract The purpose of this review is to discuss the use of chicken and other model organisms in the study of B‐cell development and function as well as to highlight the opportunities afforded by the expanded genome‐sequencing efforts. A brief introduction on chicken B‐cell biology is followed by d...
