The chromosomal duplication model of the major histocompatibility complex
1 Feb 1999
Abstract excerpt
The major histocompatibility complex (MHC) is a genetic region that has been extensively studied by immunologists, molecular biologists, and evolutionary biologists. Nevertheless, our knowledge of how the MHC acquired its present-day organization is quite limited. The recent discovery that the mammalian genome contains regions paralogous to the MHC has led us to the proposal that the MHC region of jawed...
