Evolutionary relationships of major histocompatibility complex class I genes in simian primates.
New World monkeys (NWMs) occupy a critical phylogenetic position in elucidating the evolutionary process of major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I genes in primates. From three subfamilies of Aotinae, Cebinae, and Atelinae, the 5'-flanking regions of 18 class I genes are obtained and phylogenetically examined in terms of Alu/LINE insertion elements as well as the nucleotide substitution...
متن کاملEvolutionary relationships of class II major-histocompatibility-complex genes in mammals.
The major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II molecule consists of noncovalently associated alpha and beta chains. In mammals studied so far, the class II MHC can be divided into a number of regions, each containing one or more alpha-chain genes (A genes) and beta-chain genes (B genes), and it has been known for some time that orthologous relationships exist between genes in corresponding...
متن کاملMajor Histocompatibility Complex, Class I, B
Description The genes of the Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA) system reside on chromosome 6, and code for cellsurface proteins that play a crucial role in the presentation of endogenic peptides to effector cells of the immune system. The HLA Class I protein molecule is a heterodimer, made up of two chains; a heavy one and a light one (beta 2 microglobulin). The HLA-B gene is one of the three HLA C...
متن کاملChicken major histocompatibility complex class I definition using antisera induced by cloned class I sequences.
Alloantisera directed against chicken class I MHC (BFIV) antigens were produced by using transfected cell lines expressing cloned BFIV sequences. The cloned BFIV sequences were from haplotypes *12, *13, and *21. Two laboratory-derived class I mutant sequences (BFIV13m126 and BFIV21m78) were developed to analyze cross-reactive epitopes and to induce specific alloantisera. Antisera were tested in...
متن کاملFrequency of Major Histocompatibility Antigens Class I in Mazandaran Province
Background and purpose: Major histocompatibility antigens are the most polymorphic components of the immune system. The purpose of this study was to determine the frequency of human leukocyte antigens (HLA) in a population in Mazandaran province, Iran. Materials and methods: In a cross sectional study, peripheral blood samples were obtained from 550 people in Immunogenetics Research Center af...
