Overall functional distances of MHC class I peptide binding regions (PBR) between each female and each male. The functional distances are based on physio-chemical binding properties of the amino acids
Individuals harbor diverse communities of symbiotic bacteria, which differ dramatically among host individuals. This heterogeneity poses an immunological challenge of distinguishing between mutualisti
The polymorphism of the MHC-F gene in various non-human primate species was investigated. Species specific primers were designed, and PCR was performed on cDNA. In most cases the two alleles were anal
