Evolution of MHC class I genes in higher primates.

Immunology and cell biology - 1 Aug 1996

Lienert K, Parham P

Abstract excerpt

The classical major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I genes are conserved in higher primates. Motifs common to human, chimpanzee and gorilla alleles indicate that class I alleles diverged from ancestral sequences that existed before separation of these species. Analysis of native human populations such as Australian Aborigines and Amerindians shows that HLA-B is characterized by rapid generation of new...
