Molecular Characterization of MHC Class I Alpha 1 and 2 Domains in Asian Seabass (

The Asian seabass is of importance both as a farmed and wild animal. With the emergence of infectious diseases, there is a need to understand and characterize the immune system. In humans, the highly polymorphic MHC class I (MHC-I) molecules play an important role in antigen presentation for the adaptive immune system. In the present study, we characterized a single MHC-I gene in Asian seabass (
