Differential host response to a herpesvirus: Marek’s disease virus peptides on chicken MHC class II molecules are derived from only a few genes and illustrate a new mode of peptide binding

2020-11-27

Abstract excerpt

Viral diseases pose major threats to humans and other animals, including the billions of chickens that are an important food source as well as a public health concern due to zoonotic pathogens. Unlike humans and other typical mammals, the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) of chickens can confer decisive resistance or susceptibility to many viral diseases. An iconic example is Marek’s disease, caused by an onc...
