MHC class I variation in a natural blue tit population (Cyanistes caeruleus).

Genetica - 1 Sept 2012

Wutzler R, Foerster K, Kempenaers B

Abstract excerpt

The major histocompatibility complex (MHC) is central to the vertebrate immune system and its highly polymorphic genes are considered to influence several life-history traits of individuals. To characterize the MHC in a natural population of blue tits (Cyanistes caeruleus) we investigated the class I exon 3 diversity of more than 900 individuals. We designed two pairs of motif-specific primers that reliably...
