Females prefer good genes: MHC-associated mate choice in wild and captive tuco-tucos
(Academic Press Ltd - Elsevier Science Ltd, 2012-03)
The major histocompatibility complex (MHC) genes are one of the most suitable candidates for elucidating the genetic bases of mate choice in vertebrates, given the potential benefits in terms of immunocompetence that can ...
MHC variation, multiple simultaneous infections and physiological condition in the subterranean rodent Ctenomys talarum
(Elsevier Science, 2011-07)
Parasites and pathogens can play a significant role in shaping the genetic diversity of host populations, particularly at genes associated with host immune response. To explore this relationship in a natural population of ...
Characterising a microsatellite for DRB typing in Aotus vociferans and Aotus nancymaae (Platyrrhini)
(2014-03-12)
Non-human primates belonging to the Aotus genus have been shown to be excellent experimental models for evaluating drugs and vaccine candidates against malaria and other human diseases. The immune system of this animal ...
Approaching Genetics Through the MHC Lens: Tools and Methods for HLA Research
(2021-12-02)
The current SARS-CoV-2 pandemic era launched an immediate and broad response of the research community with studies both about the virus and host genetics. Research in genetics investigated HLA association with COVID-19 ...
Allelic variant analysis of the DRB3 gene by PCR-RFLP in mediterranean buffaloes breed
(2013-12-01)
The DRB3 gene is a member of the mammalian major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II cluster. Allelic variants of this gene have been associated with bovine leukemia virus infection and mastitis in cattle. In this ...
Tumor venéreo transmissível canino - I. Expressão gênica e proteica e caracterização genotípica de DLADQA-1 (MHC-II); II. Estudo imuno-histoquímico da resposta imune local
(Universidade Estadual Paulista (Unesp), 2015-11-20)
The canine transmissible venereal tumor (CTVT) is a transmissible cancer that is spread between dogs by the allogeneic transfer of living cancer cells during coitus. It is the oldest cancer lineage known in nature and one ...
Polymorphisms in major histocompatibility complex genes and its associations with milk quality in Murrah buffaloes
(2019-01-01)
Animal breeding programs have used molecular genetic tools as an auxiliary method to identify and select animals with superior genetic merit for milk production and milk quality traits as well as disease resistance. Genes ...
