MHC class I diversity in chimpanzees and bonobos.

Immunogenetics - 1 Oct 2017

Maibach Vincent, Hans Jörg B, Hvilsom Christina, Marques-Bonet Tomas, Vigilant Linda

Abstract excerpt

Major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I genes are critically involved in the defense against intracellular pathogens. MHC diversity comparisons among samples of closely related taxa may reveal traces of past or ongoing selective processes. The bonobo and chimpanzee are the closest living evolutionary relatives of humans and last shared a common ancestor some 1 mya. However, little is known concerning MHC...
