Two different primate species express an identical functional MHC class I allele.

Immunogenetics - 1 Jan 1998

Evans D T, Piekarczyk M S, Cadavid L, Hinshaw V S, Watkins D I

Abstract excerpt

The products of the highly polymorphic and variable major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I loci play a crucial role in host defenses against infectious disease. While similar alleles have been found in closely related species, sharing of a functional MHC class I allele between two species has never been reported. Here we show that an identical functional MHC class I molecule is present in two different...
