BACKGROUND: Mauritian cynomolgus macaques have greatly restricted genetic diversity in the MHC region compared to other non-human primates; however, the frequency of common MHC haplotypes among captive-bred populations has not been reported. METHODS: Microsatellite PCR was used to determine MHC h...
