Abstract | In the present study we designed a pair of primers to amplify the exon 2 of the MHC II beta chain of the Atlantic goliath grouper, which is responsible for the recognition of pathogenic molecules and the regulation of the immune system. Future analyses of this region may provide an important database to understand the evolutionary processes affecting the populations of the goliath grouper, and to predict the conservation perspectives in the species. | ||||||||||||
