Abstract excerpt
Micropolymorphism significantly shapes the peptide-binding characteristics of major histocompatibility complex class I (MHC-I) molecules, affecting the host's resistance to pathogens, which is particularly pronounced in avian species displaying the "minimal essential MHC" expression pattern. In this study, we compared two duck MHC-I alleles, Anpl-UAA*77 and Anpl-UAA*78, that exhibit markedly different peptide...
