MHC-disassortative mating preferences reversed by cross-fostering.

Proceedings. Biological sciences - 22 Jul 1998

Penn D, Potts W

Abstract excerpt

House mice (Mus musculus domesticus) avoid mating with individuals that are genetically similar at the major histocompatibility complex (MHC). Mice are able recognize MHC-similar individuals through specific odour cues. However, to mate disassortatively for MHC genes, individuals must have a referent, either themselves (self-inspection) or close kin (familial imprinting), with which to compare the MHC identity of...
