Xenopus class II A genes: studies of genetics, polymorphism, and expression.

Developmental and comparative immunology - 1 Oct 2002

Liu Yu, Kasahara Masanori, Rumfelt Lynn L, Flajnik Martin F

Abstract excerpt

The amphibian Xenopus laevis has been a central model for the study of evolution of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC). Many of the counterparts of mammalian MHC genes have been identified in Xenopus, facilitating the understanding of MHC structure and function. Herein we characterize X. laevis MHC class II-alpha chain genes. There are three related class II A genes/haplotype in the four commonly used...
