MHC genotype and near-deterministic mortality in grey seals.

Scientific reports - 1 Jan 2012

de Assunção-Franco M, Hoffman J I, Harwood J, Amos W

Abstract excerpt

The Major Histocompatability Complex (MHC) is one of the best known and best characterised components of the immune system, yet its functions remain somewhat enigmatic, including both anti-pathogen activity and kin recognition. To explore the importance of the MHC relative to literally hundreds of other components of the immune system, we compared MHC genotype frequencies between pups and adults in the grey seal...
