Genetic diversity of the major histocompatibility complex of cotton rats (Sigmodon hispidus) inhabiting an oil refinery complex.

Environmental toxicology and chemistry - 1 Oct 2001

Pfau R S, McBee K, Van Den Bussche R A

Abstract excerpt

We examined genetic diversity of an immune-response gene within the major histocompatibility complex in cotton rats (Sigmodon hispidus) inhabiting an oil refinery complex. Genetic diversity of MHC-DQA exon-2 was examined within and among contaminated and noncontaminated reference grids. The level of gene diversity within contaminated grids (0.748) was lower than within reference grids (0.818), but the difference...
