Published in 2019 at "Ecology and Evolution"

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.5373

Abstract: Abstract Major histocompatibility complex (MHC) genes in vertebrates are vital in defending against pathogenic infections. To gain new insights into the evolution of MHC Class I (MHCI) genes and test competing hypotheses on the origin… read more here.

Published in 2024 at "Journal of Clinical Immunology"

DOI: 10.1007/s10875-024-01674-0

Abstract: Major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II deficiency is one of the combined immune deficiency disorders caused by defects in the MHC class II regulatory genes leading to abnormal T cells development and function. Therefore, patients… read more here.

Published in 2017 at "Developmental and Comparative Immunology"

DOI: 10.1016/j.dci.2016.12.003

Abstract: ABSTRACT Amphibians, as the first terrestrial vertebrates, offer a window into early major histocompatibility complex (MHC) evolution. We characterized the MHC class I of two Korean amphibians, the Asiatic toad (Bufo gargarizans) and the Japanese… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.dci.2018.02.012

Abstract: &NA; Characterisation of squamate major histocompatibility complex (MHC) genes has lagged behind other taxonomic groups. MHC genes encode cell‐surface glycoproteins that present self‐ and pathogen‐derived peptides to T cells and play a critical role in… read more here.

Published in 2018 at "Evolution and Human Behavior"

DOI: 10.1016/j.evolhumbehav.2018.04.001

Abstract: Abstract What might explain our instinctual attraction to certain individuals, aside from visible factors such as appearance? We examined possible biologically-driven selection for immunology genes, specifically preferences for Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC)-dissimilarity, through the ecologically-valid… read more here.

Published in 2017 at "Veterinary immunology and immunopathology"

DOI: 10.1016/j.vetimm.2017.09.007

Abstract: The slow progress in understanding immunotoxic effects of environmental contaminants and their influence on disease susceptibility in whales is largely due to the limited information available on the immune systems and immune function of species… read more here.

Published in 2024 at "Journal of chemical information and modeling"

DOI: 10.1021/acs.jcim.4c01153

Abstract: Major histocompatibility complex (MHC) plays a vital role in presenting epitopes (short peptides from pathogenic proteins) to T-cell receptors (TCRs) to trigger the subsequent immune responses. Vaccine design targeting MHC generally aims to find epitopes… read more here.

Published in 2020 at "Scientific Reports"

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-020-71785-2

Abstract: The lack of a high throughput assay for screening stabilizing peptides prior to building a library of peptide-major histocompatibility complex class I (pMHC-I) molecules has motivated the continual use of in silico tools without biophysical… read more here.
