Experimental evidence for major histocompatibility complex-allele-specific resistance to a bacterial infection.

Proceedings. Biological sciences - 7 Oct 2002

Lohm Jakob, Grahn Mats, Langefors Asa, Andersen Øivind, Storset Arne, von Schantz Torbjörn

Abstract excerpt

The extreme polymorphism found at some major histocompatibility complex (MHC) loci is believed to be maintained by balancing selection caused by infectious pathogens. Experimental support for this is inconclusive. We have studied the interaction between certain MHC alleles and the bacterium Aerom...
