Good copy, bad copy: choosing animal models for HLA-linked diseases.

Abstract excerpt

Recent large-scale sequencing and comparative analyses of the major histocompatibility complex (Mhc) provide a novel view of this long-studied region. The main insight is that even though Mhcs are defined by the presence of the Mhc class I and II genes, the regions encoding class I/II histocompatibility antigens are the least conserved among the species; hence the difficulty of modeling the human class...
