The role of the Major Histocompatibility Complex in the spread of contagious cancers.

Mammalian genome : official journal of the International Mammalian Genome Society - 1 Feb 2011

Belov Katherine

Abstract excerpt

Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC) genes play a key role in immune response to infectious diseases, immunosurveillance, and self/nonself recognition. Matching MHC alleles is critical for organ transplantation, while changes in the MHC profile of tumour cells allow effective evasion of the imm...
