MHC peptides and the sensory evaluation of genotype.

Trends in neurosciences - 1 Feb 2006

Boehm Thomas, Zufall Frank

Abstract excerpt

Social interactions, such as finding and identifying a mate, often rely on the ability to sense molecular cues carrying information about genetic relationship and individuality. We summarize recent evidence for an unexpected mechanistic link between the immune and olfactory systems in enabling this identification process. In addition to their established role in the immune response, peptide ligands of major...
