The major histocompatibility complex in the chicken

Trends in Genetics, 1989
The chicken B complex is the first non-mammalian MHC characterized at the molecular level. It differs from the human HLA and murine H-2 complexes in the small size of the class I (B-F) and class II (B-L) genes and their close proximity. This proximity accounts for the absence of recombination between B-F and B-L genes and leaves no space for class III ...

The Major Histocompatibility Complex and Inflammation

Southern Medical Journal, 2000
The major histocompatibility complex (MHC) is of major medical interest because of its contribution to transplant rejection and to variation among individuals in susceptibility to a variety of autoimmune disorders. In addition to its role in influencing the propensity for known autoimmune diseases, the MHC contains genes contributing to several other ...

The major histocompatibility complex origin

Immunological Reviews, 2004
Summary:  The present review focuses on the history of genes involved in the major histocompatibility complex (MHC), with a special emphasis on class I function in peptide presentation. The MHC class II story is covered in less detail, as it does not have a major impact on the general understanding of the MHC evolution. We first redefine the MHC as the

The Marsupial Major Histocompatibility Complex

2010
The major histocompatibility complex (MHC) contains genes that play essential roles in the innate and adaptive immune responses, and has been one of the most studied genomic regions among vertebrates. The marsupial MHC has been intensively investigated in several species, with the genomic organization having been characterized in the gray short-tailed ...

The major histocompatibility complex in swine

Immunological Reviews, 1999
Summary: In swine, the major histocompatibility complex (Mhc) or swine leukocyte antigen (SLA) is located on chromosome 7 and divided by the centromere. Thus, the telomeric class I and more centromeric class III regions are located on the p arm and the class II region is located on the q arm.

The Major Histocompatibility Complex of the Mouse

Science, 1979
Like physicists striving to develop a unified field theory, immunologists are attempting to bring order to the microcosmos of defense reactions. Indications are that one of the most important constants in this microcosmos is the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) of the species. A test of any interpretation of the MHC's role in immunity is how well

The major histocompatibility complex of primates

Genetica, 1987
The major histocompatibility complex (MHC) encodes cell surface glycoproteins that function in self-nonself recognition and in allograft rejection. Among primates, the MHC has been well defined only in the human; in the chimpanzee and in two species of macaque monkeys the MHC is less well characterized.

The Nature of Selection on the Major Histocompatibility Complex

Critical Reviews™ in Immunology, 1997
Only natural selection can account for the extreme genetic diversity of genes of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC). Although the structure and function of classic MHC genes is well understood at the molecular and cellular levels, there is controversy about how MHC diversity is selectively maintained. The diversifying selection can be driven by
