Abstract excerpt
To investigate how MHC class I genes have changed in the approximately 5 million years since chimpanzees and humans diverged, we characterized six genomic fragments ranging in size from 5.1 to 6.1 kb, each containing the complete coding region, introns, and flanking regions of one of the following chimpanzee class I genes: Patr-A, Patr-E, Patr-F, Patr-G, Patr-H, and Patr-J. In humans, these genes are closely...
