Major histocompatibility complex genes: their variation and impact on fitness in a socially monogamous passerine
Abstract:
Geny hlavního histokompatibilního komplexu (angl. zkr. MHC) jsou nezbytné pro správné fungování získané imunity u všech čelistnatých obratlovců. Již u mnoha druhů byl prokázán přímý vztah mezi geny MHC a různými složkami fitness. Zejména kvůli jejich funkci v imunitní odpovědi jsou tyto geny vůbec nejrozmanitější kódující částí obratlovčího genomu. Ze stejného důvodu se geny MHC v posledních letech …moreAbstract:
Genes of the Major histocompatibility complex (MHC) are crucial for the adaptive immune system of jawed vertebrates. Thus, there is a direct link between MHC and different components of fitness. Due to their immune function, balancing selection has shaped diversity at these genes into the most polymorphic coding regions described in vertebrates. For the same reason, MHC is becoming one of the most …more
