High variability in the MHC class II DA beta chain of the brushtail possum (Trichosurus vulpecula).

Immunogenetics - 1 Dec 2008

Holland Olivia J, Cowan Phil E, Gleeson Dianne M, Chamley Larry W

Abstract excerpt

The diversity of class II major histocompatibility complex (MHC) loci was investigated in the brushtail possum, an important marsupial pest species in New Zealand. Immunocontraception, a form of fertility control that generates an autoimmune response, is being developed as a population control method for the possum. Because the immune response is partly under genetic control, an understanding of immunogenetics in...
