Major histocompatibility complex class II polymorphisms in humans and chimpanzees.

Journal of medical primatology - 1 Jan 1993

Bontrop R E, Kenter M, Otting N, Jonker M

Abstract excerpt

Allelic variation at the MhcPatr-DR and -DQ loci was studied by molecular biological techniques and compared to available HLA data. With regard to the number of allelic lineages, the chimpanzee shows a condensation of its major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II repertoire as compared to humans. This does not have an impact on the overall degree of MHC class II polymorphism in the chimpanzee since a few...
