Does the MHC Confer Protection against Malaria in Bonobos?

Trends in immunology - 1 Oct 2018

de Groot Natasja G, Stevens Jeroen M G, Bontrop Ronald E

Abstract excerpt

The immunological factors that could explain the near absence of malaria parasites in bonobos are not yet understood. The MHC class I system, however, may play an important role, as particular bonobo allotypes show functional similarities to HLA-B*53/B*78, which are considered to confer protection against malaria in humans.
