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 Complexes [PDF]

, 1975
In the past few years, the major histocompatibility complex of higher vertebrates has emerged as a remarkable system of multiple genes, which serve multiple, but probably related, functions and which have been maintained in close linkage in a small chromosomal segment over long evolutionary time.

THE MAJOR HISTOCOMPATIBILITY COMPLEX OF THE RAT

1976
Immunogenetic studies in the rat began with the investigation of blood group antigens (1-7) and evolved into the investigation of histocompatibility antigens and transplantation phenomena (8-17). In the course of this work, several nomenclature systems evolved that were eventually reconciled in a series of comparison studies (18-24).

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 ...

Immunogenetics and the major histocompatibility complex

Veterinary Immunology and Immunopathology, 1991
The poultry immune system is a complex system involving many different cell types and soluble factors that must act in concert to give rise to an effective response to pathogenic challenge. The complexity of the immune system allows the opportunity for genetic regulation at many different levels.

THE MAJOR HISTOCOMPATIBILITY COMPLEX

1994
Publisher Summary The major histocompatibility complex (MHC) is a generic name of a set of clustered loci. MHC genes proper are found in all vertebrates, except jawless fish, but not in invertebrates. Functional MHC molecules bind self and/or foreign peptides and present them to T-cell receptors.

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
