High intralocus variability and interlocus recombination promote immunological diversity in a minimal major histocompatibility system.

BMC evolutionary biology - 20 Dec 2014

Wilson Anthony B, Whittington Camilla M, Bahr Angela

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: The genes of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC/MH) have attracted considerable scientific interest due to their exceptional levels of variability and important function as part of the adaptive immune system. Despite a large number of studies on MH class II diversity of both model and non-model organisms, most research has focused on patterns of genetic variability at individual loci, failing...
