Evidence for multiple MHC class II β loci in New Zealand's critically endangered kakapo, Strigops habroptilus.

Immunogenetics - 1 Feb 2014

Knafler Gabrielle J, Fidler Andrew, Jamieson Ian G, Robertson Bruce C

Abstract excerpt

Immunologically important genes of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) have been characterized in a number of avian species with the general finding of considerable variation in size and structural organization among organisms. A range of nonpasserines which represent early-diverging Neoave lineages have been described as having only one MHC class II β locus potentially leading to the conclusion that this...
