The Major Histocompatibility Complex in Bovines: A Review
Productivity in dairy cattle and buffaloes depends on the genetic factors governing the production of milk and milk constituents as well as genetic factors controlling disease resistance or susceptibility. The immune system is the adaptive defense system that has evolved in vertebrates to protect them from invading pathogens and also carcinomas. It is remarkable in the sense that it is able to ...
متن کاملThe Major Histocompatibility Complex: a Review
One of the important components of the immune system, the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) molecules allow T-lymphocytes to detect cells, such as macrophages, B-lymphocytes, and dendritic cells that ingest infectious microorganisms or the self-cells infected with microorganism. On being engulfed a microorganism, macrophage partially digests it and displays peptide fragments of the microbe...
متن کاملThe Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC) in Schizophrenia: A Review
Epidemiological studies and mouse models suggest that maternal immune activation, induced clinically through prenatal exposure to one of several infectious diseases, is a risk factor in the development of schizophrenia. This is supported by the strong genetic association established by genome wide association studies (GWAS) between the human leukocyte antigen (HLA) locus and schizophrenia. HLA ...
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 کاملPorcine major histocompatibility complex.
The major histocompatibility complex in swine (swine leucocyte antigen: SLA) is located on chromosome 7 with the class I and class III regions separated by the centromere from the class II region. The overall molecular organisation of the class I and III regions is well known, but further research is needed to establish that of the class II region. Approximately sixty genes have been characteri...
