Lack of Genetic Diversity in the Major Histocompatibilty Complex: DQA Exon 2 in Beluga Whales
The major histocompatibility complex (MHC) is a family of genes that has become an important marker in measuring the diversity of immune response in a wide range of species. The MHC complex can be thought of as a transport device; it carries the pathogenic peptide to the surface of the cell and pres...
