Low major histocompatibility complex class II diversity in European and North American moose.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America - 9 May 1995

Mikko S, Andersson L

Abstract excerpt

Major histocompatibility complex (MHC) genes encode cell surface proteins whose function is to bind and present intracellularly processed peptides to T lymphocytes of the immune system. Extensive MHC diversity has been documented in many species and is maintained by some form of balancing selection. We report here that both European and North American populations of moose (Alces alces) exhibit very low levels of...
