Major histocompatibility complex genes partly explain early survival in house sparrows.

Scientific reports - 26 Jul 2017

Lukasch B, Westerdahl H, Strandh M, Knauer F, Winkler H, Moodley Y, Hoi H

Abstract excerpt

Environmental factors and genetic incompatibilities between parents have been suggested as important determinants for embryonic mortality and survival. The genetic set-up of the immune system, specifically the highly polymorphic major histocompatibility complex (MHC) may also influence individual resistance to infections. MHC proteins are important for an appropriate adaptive immune response and enable T-cells to...
