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

Immunogenetics - 1 Jul 2012

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 infectious diseases, little is known about MHC evolution in bats. In the present study, we examined expressed MHC class II DRB...
