Major histocompatibility complex class II DOA sequences from three Antarctic seal species verify stabilizing selection on the DO locus
Abstract: To provide additional support for the sequence conservation and hence the regulatory role of the MHC class II DOA locus, we obtained the nucleotide sequences of exon 2 and exon 3, along with the intervening intron, of the Ross seal, and sequences from the exon 2 region from the Weddell and...
