MHC allele frequency distributions under parasite-driven selection: A simulation model
BACKGROUND: The extreme polymorphism that is observed in major histocompatibility complex (MHC) genes, which code for proteins involved in recognition of non-self oligopeptides, is thought to result from a pressure exerted by parasites because parasite antigens are more likely to be recognized by MH...
