Evolution of major histocompatibility complex class I genes in the sable Martes zibellina (Carnivora, Mustelidae)

Evolution of major histocompatibility complex class I genes in the sable Martes zibellina (Carnivora, Mustelidae)

Abstract The molecules encoded by major histocompatibility complex (MHC) genes play an essential role in the adaptive immune response among vertebrates. We investigated the molecular evolution of MHC class I genes in the sable Martes zibellina. We isolated 26 MHC class I sequences, including 12 puta...
