The 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...
متن کاملExpression of major histocompatibility complex antigens on the bovine placenta.
Immunohistochemistry was utilized to determine expression of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) antigens on Day 8-9 hatched blastocysts and fetal membranes of mid- to late gestation cows and to examine the pattern of leucocytic infiltration into the gravid uterus. Hatched blastocysts were weakly positive for MHC class I antigens. In the mature placenta, chorioallantoic membranes in the ...
متن کاملThe chicken major histocompatibility complex and disease.
The chicken major histocompatibility complex (MHC), or B complex, consists of several clusters of highly polymorphic genes, some of which are associated with disease resistance. The class I and class II antigens resemble their mammalian counterparts in the encoded protein structure. The class IV region encodes the B blood group antigens, which are readily identified by serological blood-typing....
متن کاملImmunogenetics and the major histocompatibility complex.
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. Cellular communication in the immune response, the production of soluble factors, and the rate of d...
