Molecular characterization of MHC class IIB genes of sympatric Neotropical cichlids.

BMC genetics - 15 Feb 2017

Hofmann Melinda J, Bracamonte Seraina E, Eizaguirre Christophe, Barluenga Marta

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: The Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC) is a key component of the adaptive immune system of all vertebrates and consists of the most polymorphic genes known to date. Due to this complexity, however, MHC remains to be characterized in many species including any Neotropical cichlid fish. Neotropical crater lake cichlids are ideal models to study evolutionary processes as they display one of the most...
