Characterization of MHC class I in a long-distance migrant shorebird suggests multiple transcribed genes and intergenic recombination.

Immunogenetics - 1 Mar 2013

Buehler Deborah M, Verkuil Yvonne I, Tavares Erika S, Baker Allan J

Abstract excerpt

The major histocompatibility complex (MHC) includes highly polymorphic gene families encoding proteins crucial to the vertebrate acquired immune system. Classical MHC class I (MHCI) genes code for molecules expressed on the surfaces of most nucleated cells and are associated with defense against intracellular pathogens, such as viruses. These genes have been studied in a few wild bird species, but have not been...
