Birdsong signals individual diversity at the major histocompatibility complex.
The major histocompatibility complex (MHC) plays a key role in vertebrate immunity, and pathogen-mediated selection often favours certain allelic combinations. Assessing potential mates' MHC profiles may provide receivers with genetic benefits (identifying MHC-compatible mates and producing optimally diverse offspring) and/or material benefits (identifying optimally diverse mates capable of hig...
متن کاملAllelic Diversity of Major Histocompatibility Complex Class II DRB Gene in Indian Cattle and Buffalo
The present study was conducted to study the diversity of MHC-DRB3 alleles in Indian cattle and buffalo breeds. Previously reported BoLA-DRB exon 2 alleles of Indian Zebu cattle, Bos taurus cattle, buffalo, sheep, and goats were analyzed for the identities and divergence among various allele sequences. Comparison of predicted amino acid residues of DRB3 exon 2 alleles with similar alleles from ...
متن کاملThe major histocompatibility complex.
The major histocompatibility complex on the sixth chromosome controls expression of a complex series of cell surface antigens which comprise the human leukocyte antigen (HLA) system. These markers, beyond their importance in human organ transplantation, have been demonstrated to occur with an increased prevalence in certain disease states. The group of conditions showing the closest association...
متن کاملA second major histocompatibility complex susceptibility locus for multiple sclerosis
OBJECTIVE Variation in the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) on chromosome 6p21 is known to influence susceptibility to multiple sclerosis with the strongest effect originating from the HLA-DRB1 gene in the class II region. The possibility that other genes in the MHC independently influence susceptibility to multiple sclerosis has been suggested but remains unconfirmed. METHODS Using a c...
متن کاملallelic segregation of major histocompatibility complex using lei0258 microsatellite marker in indigenous and commercial chickens
background: major histocompatibility complex (mhc) in chicken has profound influence on resistance/susceptibility to disease, and production and reproduction traits. microsatellite marker lei0258 is a genetic indicator for mhc haplotypes. recognizing diversity of mhc haplotypes in selectively bred populations will be helpful for selecting population resistant to disease and development of effec...
