Allelic diversity and selection at the MHC class I and class II in a bottlenecked bird of prey, the White-tailed Eagle
BACKGROUND: Genes of the Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC) are essential for adaptive immune response in vertebrates, as they encode receptors that recognize peptides derived from the processing of intracellular (MHC class I) and extracellular (MHC class II) pathogens. High MHC diversity in nat...
