The evolution of allelic diversity at the primate major histocompatibility complex class II loci.
Human immunology - 1 Feb 1991
Erlich H A, Gyllensten U B
Abstract excerpt
The evolutionary history of polymorphism at the DQ alpha, DQ beta, and DR beta loci appears to be quite distinct and reflects different genetic mechanisms and selection pressures for the different loci. Phylogenetic analysis of sequences from a variety of species allows the tentative reconstructi...
