Researchers from Department of Agriculture report on findings in immunology
February 3rd, 2009
Researchers detail in 'Molecular genetics of the swine major histocompatibility complex, the SLA complex,' new data in immunology. "The swine major histocompatibility complex (MHC) or swine leukocyte antigen (SLA) complex is one of the most gene-dense regions in the swine genome. It consists of three major gene clusters, the SLA class I, class III and class II regions, that span approximately 1.1, 0.7 and 0.5Mb, respectively, making the swine MHC the smallest among mammalian MHC so far examined and the only one known to span the centromere," scientists in the United States report. "This review summarizes recent updates to the Immuno Polymorphism Database-MHC (IPD-MHC)...
