MHC diversity and the association to nematode parasitism in the yellow-necked mouse (Apodemus flavicollis).

Molecular ecology - 1 Jun 2005

Meyer-Lucht Y, Sommer S

Abstract excerpt

In vertebrates, the genes of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) are among the most debated candidates accounting for co-evolutionary processes of host-parasite interaction at the molecular level. The exceptionally high allelic polymorphism found in MHC loci is believed to be maintained by pathogen-driven selection, mediated either through heterozygous advantage or rare allele advantage (= frequency...
