Diversity and evolutionary patterns of immune genes in free-ranging Namibian leopards (Panthera pardus pardus).

The Journal of heredity - 1 Jan 2000

Abstract excerpt

The genes of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) are a key component of the mammalian immune system and have become important molecular markers for fitness-related genetic variation in wildlife populations. Currently, no information about the MHC sequence variation and constitution in African leopards exists. In this study, we isolated and characterized genetic variation at the adaptively most important...
