Independent evolution of functional MHC class II DRB genes in New World bat species.

Immunogenetics - 1 Jul 2012

Schad Julia, Voigt Christian C, Greiner Sabine, Dechmann Dina K N, Sommer Simone

Abstract excerpt

Genes of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) play a pivotal role in the vertebrate immune system and are attractive markers for functional, fitness-related, genetic variation. Although bats (Chiroptera) represent the second largest mammalian order and are prone to various emerging infectio...
