Towards a molecular code for individuality in the absence of MHC: screening for individually variable genes in the urochordate Ciona intestinalis.

Developmental and comparative immunology - 1 Jan 2005

Khalturin Konstantin, Kürn Ulrich, Pinnow Nicole, Bosch Thomas C G

Abstract excerpt

Urochordates possess several well described allorecognitions systems, the molecular nature of those is not yet understood. A prerequisite for any self-/nonself discimination system is the presence of a group of highly variable molecules, which should vary between individuals. Using suppression subtractive hybridisation (SSH) we surveyed Ciona intestinalis for individually variable genes. Our search so far...
