Abstract excerpt
High allelic polymorphism and association with disease susceptibility has made the genes encoding major histocompatibility complex (MHC) antigen presentation molecules in humans, domesticated animals, and wildlife species of wide interest to ecologists, evolutionary biologists, and health specialists. The often multifaceted polygenism and extreme polymorphism of this immunogenetic system have made it especially...
