Mhc polymorphisms fail to explain the heritability of phytohaemagglutinin-induced skin swelling in a wild passerine.

Biology letters - 23 Dec 2009

Bonneaud Camille, Sinsheimer Janet S, Richard Murielle, Chastel Olivier, Sorci Gabriele

Abstract excerpt

Genetic estimates of the variability of immune responses are rarely examined in natural populations because of confounding environmental effects. As a result, and because of the difficulty of pinpointing the genetic determinants of immunity, no study has to our knowledge examined the contribution of specific genes to the heritability of an immune response in wild populations. We cross-fostered nestling house...
