Olfactory signals and the MHC: a review and a case study in Lemur catta.

American journal of primatology - 1 Jun 2006

Knapp Leslie A, Robson Julie, Waterhouse John S

Abstract excerpt

The major histocompatibility complex (MHC) is the most polymorphic genetic system known in vertebrates. Decades of research demonstrate that it plays a critical role in immune response and disease resistance. It has also been suggested that MHC genes influence social behavior and reproductive phenomena. Studies in laboratory mice and rats report that kin recognition and mate choice are influenced by olfactory...
