High variability in the MHC class II DA beta chain of the brushtail possum (Trichosurus vulpecula)
The diversity of class II major histocompatibility complex (MHC) loci was investigated in the brushtail possum, an important marsupial pest species in New Zealand. Immunocontraception, a form of fertility cont...

Identification of novel major histocompatibility complex class I sequences in a marsupial, the brushtail possum (Trichosurus vulpecula)
The major histocompatibility complex (MHC) is an essential part of the vertebrate immune response. MHC genes may be classified as classical, non-classical or non-functional pseudogenes. We have investigated th...
