Evidence for evolutionary convergence at MHC in two broadly distributed mesocarnivores.

Immunogenetics - 1 Apr 2012

Srithayakumar Vythegi, Castillo Sarrah, Mainguy Julien, Kyle Christopher J

Abstract excerpt

Variation within major histocompatibility complex (MHC) genes is important in recognizing pathogens and initiating an immune response. These genes are relevant in enhancing our understanding of how species cope with rapid environmental changes and concomitant fluctuations in selective pressures such as invasive, infectious diseases. Disease-based models suggest that diversity at MHC is maintained through...
