The Evolution of Mating Preferences and Major Histocompatibility Complex Genes.
House mice prefer mates genetically dissimilar at the major histocompatibility complex (MHC). The highly polymorphic MHC genes control immunological self/nonself recognition; therefore, this mating preference may function to provide "good genes" for an individual's offspring. However, the evidence for MHC-dependent mating preferences is controversial, and its function remains unclear. Here we p...
متن کاملControl of mating preferences in mice by genes in the major histocompatibility complex
When a male mouse is presented with two H-2 congenic two female in estrus, his choice of a mate is influenced by their H-2 types. The term "strain preference" is used to describe the general tendency of the male population of one inbred strain to prefer two female of one H-2 type rather than another. The term "consistency of choice" is used to describe the added tendency of particular two males...
متن کاملNon-major histocompatibility complex alloantigen genes affecting immunity.
An alloantigen is a genetically determined cell-surface molecule detected by specific antisera. An identifying letter has been assigned to each genetic locus responsible for the 12 distinct families of alloantigens: A, B, C, D, E, H, I, J, K, L, P, and R. The genes of each system segregate independently of the other systems, except that the A and E are very closely linked (0.5 centimorgans). Se...
متن کاملIsolation of carp genes encoding major histocompatibility complex antigens.
In the evolution of the adaptive immune system unique to vertebrates, teleost fish occupy the critical position. This is the most primitive class of lower vertebrates in which the capacity for acute allograft rejections can be demonstrated, thus suggesting the presence of major histocompatibility complex (MHC) antigens and, therefore, T cells. Here, we report the identification of two putative ...
