Major histocompatibility complex gene mapping in the amphibian Xenopus implies a primordial organization.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America - 27 May 1997

Nonaka M, Namikawa C, Kato Y, Sasaki M, Salter-Cid L, Flajnik M F

Abstract excerpt

One of the most provocative recent discoveries in immunology was the description of a genetic linkage in the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) between structurally unrelated genes whose products are involved in processing and presentation of antigens for recognition by T lymphocytes. Genes e...
