MHC class II genes in the European badger (Meles meles): characterization, patterns of variation, and transcription analysis.

Immunogenetics - 1 Apr 2012

Abstract excerpt

The major histocompatibility complex (MHC) comprises many genes, some of which are polymorphic with numerous alleles. Sequence variation among alleles is most pronounced in exon 2 of the class II genes, which encodes the α1 and β1 domains that form the antigen-binding site (ABS) for the presentation of peptides. The MHC thus plays an important role in pathogen defense. European badgers (Meles meles) are a good...
