Isolation and characterization of a MHC class II DRB locus in the European water vole (Arvicola terrestris).

Immunogenetics - 1 Jun 2006

Oliver Matthew K, Piertney Stuart B

Abstract excerpt

In so-called model species, such as human and mouse, genes of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) are characterized by extremely high levels of polymorphism, and it is considered that such diversity is maintained by balancing selection. ;There is now a recognized need to expand studies into nonmodel species to examine whether high MHC diversity is mirrored in natural populations, and to determine the...
