A major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II molecule that binds the same viral pathogen peptide with both nonamer and decamer core sequences for presentation to T cells

2025-10-27

Abstract excerpt

Classical molecules encoded by the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) are central to immune responses. Compared to typical mammals, the chicken MHC is small and simple, determining life or death from economically-important pathogens like avian influenza virus and Marek’s disease virus (MDV). Several genes within the tightly-linked chicken MHC have been suggested to determine resistance and susceptibility to MD...
