Characterization of MHC class I in a long distance migratory wader, the Icelandic black-tailed godwit.

Immunogenetics - 1 Jul 2017

Pardal Sara, Drews Anna, Alves José A, Ramos Jaime A, Westerdahl Helena

Abstract excerpt

The major histocompatibility complex (MHC) encodes proteins that are central for antigen presentation and pathogen elimination. MHC class I (MHC-I) genes have attracted a great deal of interest among researchers in ecology and evolution and have been partly characterized in a wide range of bird species. So far, the main focus has been on species within the bird orders Galliformes and Passeriformes, while...
