Comparative Genetics of MHC Polymorphisms in Different Primate Species: Duplications and Deletions

Gene products of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) play a crucial role in the activation of adaptive (antigen-dependent) immune responses. In this paper similarities and dissimilarities among the MHCs of different primate species and their functional implications are reviewed. The human HLA...
