Selection, trans-species polymorphism, and locus identification of major histocompatibility complex class IIβ alleles of New World ranid frogs.

abstract：:Antigenic peptide binding to MHC class II molecules in the endocytic pathway occurs via a multifactorial process that requires the support of a specialized lysosomal chaperone called HLA-DM. DM shows both in primary amino acid sequence and quaternary structure a high homology to both MHC class I and class II molecules...
