MHC class I gene conversion mutations alter the CD8 T cell repertoire.

Journal of immunology (Baltimore, Md. : 1950) - 15 Oct 2003

Block Matthew S, Hansen Michael J, Van Keulen Virginia P, Pease Larry R

Abstract excerpt

MHC class I molecules are highly polymorphic within populations. This diversity is thought to be the result of selective maintenance of new class I alleles formed by gene conversion. It has been proposed that rare alleles are maintained by their ability to confer resistance to common pathogens. I...
