Evidence for an HLA-C-like locus in the orangutan Pongo pygmaeus.

Immunogenetics - 1 Sept 1999

Adams E J, Thomson G, Parham P

Abstract excerpt

HLA-B and C are related class I genes which are believed to have arisen by duplication of a common ancestor. Previous study showed the presence of orthologues for both HLA-B and C in African apes but only for HLA-B in Asian apes. These observations suggested that the primate C locus evolved subsequent to the divergence of the Pongidae and Hominidae. From an analysis of orangutan Tengku two HLA-C-like alleles...
