Abstract excerpt
The major histocompatibility complex (MHC) plays a key role in immune defense, and the Mhc genes of cynomolgus macaque display a high degree of polymorphism. Based on their geographic distribution, different populations of cynomolgus macaques are recognized. Here we present the characterization of the Mhc class I and II repertoire of a large pedigreed group of cynomolgus macaques originating from the mainland...
