Characterization of a divergent non-classical MHC class I gene in sharks.

Immunogenetics - 1 Apr 2003

Wang Carren, Perera Thushara V, Ford Heide L, Dascher Christopher C

Abstract excerpt

Sharks are the most ancient group of vertebrates known to possess members of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) gene family. For this reason, sharks provide a unique opportunity to gain insight into the evolution of the vertebrate immune system through comparative analysis. Two genes encoding proteins related to the MHC class I gene family were isolated from splenic cDNA derived from spiny dogfish shark (...
