Contrasting patterns of variation in MHC loci in the Alpine newt.

Molecular ecology - 1 May 2008

Babik W, Pabijan M, Radwan J

Abstract excerpt

Major histocompatibility complex (MHC) genes are essential in pathogen recognition and triggering an adaptive immune response. Although they are the most polymorphic genes in vertebrates, very little information on MHC variation and patterns of evolution are available for amphibians, a group known to be declining rapidly worldwide. As infectious diseases are invoked in the declines, information on MHC variation...
