MHC class II DRB diversity, selection pattern and population structure in a neotropical bat species, Noctilio albiventris.

Heredity - 1 Aug 2011

Schad J, Dechmann D K N, Voigt C C, Sommer S

Abstract excerpt

Genes of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) have a crucial role in the immune response of vertebrates, alter the individual odour and are involved in shaping mating preferences. Pathogen-mediated selection, sexual selection and maternal-fetal interactions have been proposed as the main drivers of frequently observed high levels of polymorphism in functionally important parts of the MHC. Bats constitute...
