Major histocompatibility complex class II genetic variation in forest musk deer (Moschus berezovskii) in China.

Animal genetics - 1 Oct 2015

Abstract excerpt

The major histocompatibility complex (MHC) plays an important role in the immune system of vertebrates. We used the second exon of four MHC class II genes (DRA, DQA1, DQA2 and DRB3) to assess the overall MHC variation in forest musk deer (Moschus berezovskii). We also compared the MHC variation in captive and wild populations. We observed 22 alleles at four loci (four at DRA, four at DQA1, four at DQA2 and 10 at...
