| abstractText | Evolutionary studies of complement factor B (Bf) and C2 in lower vertebrates have revealed the presence of the Bf/C2 common ancestor-like molecule in lamprey (cyclostome) and the Bf molecule encoded by the duplicated genes closely linked to the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) in Xenopus (amphibian). To further define when Bf/C2 gene duplication occurred and when linkage between the Bf/C2 gene and the MHC was established, we amplified the Bf/C2 sequences in teleost, the Japanese medaka |
