Classical human major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I molecules are the products of highly diverse gene loci. It has been suggested that segmental exchange may play a role in the generation of diversity at the antigen recognition site of MHC class I molecules. Here we present the cloning, s
Although major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I molecules are, as a rule, highly polymorphic in mammalian species, those of the New World primate Saguinus oedipus (cotton-top tamarin) exhibit limited polymorphism. We have cloned and sequenced twelve MHC class I cDNAs from this species. Since
