Reduced bonobo MHC class I diversity predicts a reduced viral peptide binding ability compared to chimpanzees

BACKGROUND: The highly polymorphic genes of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I are involved in defense against viruses and other intracellular pathogens. Although several studies found reduced MHC class I diversity in bonobos in comparison to the closely related chimpanzee, it is unc...
