Sequence variation and gene duplication at MHC DQB loci of baiji (Lipotes vexillifer), a Chinese river dolphin.

The Journal of heredity - 1 Jan 2000

Yang G, Yan J, Zhou K, Wei F

Abstract excerpt

The major histocompatibility complex (MHC) is a fundamental part of the vertebrate immune system, and the high variability in many MHC genes is thought to play an important role in the recognition of parasites. Baiji (Lipotes vexillifer) is one of the most endangered species in the world. Its wild population has declined to fewer than 100 individuals and has a very high risk of becoming extinct in the near...
