Comparison of 87 distinct Mhc-DQB sequences, obtained from 13 primate species, demonstrates that five out of eight trans-species Mhc-DQB allele lineages are at least 30 million years old and predate divergence of hominoid and Old World primate species. One lineage may be much older because its members are not only traced back in higher primates, but also are present in a New World primate species. Comparing...
