Suppression of Non-Random Fertilization by MHC Class I Antigens

Suppression of Non-Random Fertilization by MHC Class I Antigens

Hermaphroditic invertebrates and plants have a self-recognition system on the cell surface of sperm and eggs, which prevents their self-fusion and enhances non-self-fusion, thereby contributing to genetic variation. However, the system of sperm–egg recognition in mammals is under debate. To address...
