Good genes, oxidative stress and condition-dependent sexual signalsT von Schantz
Department of Animal Ecology, Lund University, Sweden
Proc Biol Sci 266:1-12. 1999....
Polymorphism and transcription of Mhc class I genes in a passerine bird, the great reed warblerH Westerdahl
Department of Animal Ecology, Lund University, Ecology Building, S 223 62 Lund, Sweden
Immunogenetics 49:158-70. 1999..The number of transcribed genes and the numerous RFLP fragments found so far suggest that the great reed warbler does not have a "minimal essential Mhc" as has been suggested for the chicken...
Screening of Mhc variation in Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar): a comparison of restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP), denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) and sequencingA Langefors
Department of Animal Ecology, Ecology Building, Lund University, 223 62 Lund, Sweden
Mol Ecol 9:215-9. 2000..Both RFLP using different probes, and the two PCR-based methods using three different primer pairs, suggest that there is only a single Mhc class II B gene in the Baltic populations of Atlantic salmon...
Association between major histocompatibility complex class IIB alleles and resistance to Aeromonas salmonicida in Atlantic salmonA Langefors
Department of Animal Ecology, Lund University, Sweden
Proc Biol Sci 268:479-85. 2001..salmonicida. Our results support the hypothesis that MHC polymorphism is maintained through pathogen-driven selection acting by means of frequency-dependent selection rather than heterozygous advantage...
Increase of genetic variation over time in a recently founded population of great reed warblers (Acrocephalus arundinaceus) revealed by microsatellites and DNA fingerprintingB Hansson
Department of Animal Ecology, Ecology Building, Lund University, S 223 62 Lund, Sweden
Mol Ecol 9:1529-38. 2000..These results suggest that the population has now recovered genetically, or is in the process of recovering, from a recent founder event...
Mhc diversity in two passerine birds: no evidence for a minimal essential MhcH Westerdahl
Department of Animal Ecology, Lund University, Sweden
Immunogenetics 52:92-100. 2000..This difference could be caused by their phylogenetic past, and/or by variance in the selection pressure for maintaining a high number of Mhc genes...
Allelic polymorphism in MHC class II B in four populations of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar)A Langefors
Department of Animal Ecology, Lund University, Sweden
Immunogenetics 53:329-36. 2001....
MHC class I typing in a songbird with numerous loci and high polymorphism using motif-specific PCR and DGGEH Westerdahl
Department of Animal Ecology, Ecology Building, Lund University, S 223 62 Lund, Sweden
Heredity (Edinb) 92:534-42. 2004..In our study population of great reed warblers, we found a high level of genetic variation in MHC class I, and no less than 234 DGGE genotypes were detected among 248 screened individuals...
