Untrained mice discriminate MHC-determined odors.

Physiology & behavior - 1 Jun 1998

Penn D, Potts W K

Abstract excerpt

Immune recognition occurs when foreign antigens are presented to T-lymphocytes by molecules encoded by the highly polymorphic genes of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC). House mice (Mus musculus) prefer to mate with individuals that have dissimilar MHC genes. Numerous studies indicate that mice recognize MHC identity through chemosensory cues; however, it is unclear whether odor is determined by...
