Analysis of the Immunoglobulin Light Chain Genes in Zebra Finch: Evolutionary Implications

All jawed vertebrates produce immunoglobulins (IGs) as a defense mechanism against pathogens. Typically, IGs are composed of two identical heavy chains (IGH) and two identical light chains (IGL). Most tetrapod species encode more than one isotype of light chains. Chicken is the only representative o...
