摘要: Ample variations of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) genes are essential for vertebrates to adapt various environmental conditions. In this study, we investigated genetic and evolutionary patterns seven functional MHC class II (one DRA, two DRB, DQA, DQB) giant panda. The results showed presence monomorphic loci (DRA DQB2) five polymorphic with different numbers alleles (seven at DRB1, six DRB3, DQA1, four DQA2, DQB1). balancing selection in panda was supported by following pieces evidence: (1) observed heterozygosity higher than expected. (2) Amino acid significantly antigen-binding sites (ABS) compared non-ABS sequences. (3) parameter ω (dN/dS) ABS (4) Approximately 95.45% positively selected codons (P>0.95) were located or adjacent an ABS. Furthermore, study that Qinling subspecies exhibited high values across each locus (all >1), supporting its extensive positive selection. Sichuan displayed small DRB1 (ω<0.72) DQA2 (ω<0.48), suggesting these underwent strong purifying Intragenic recombination detected DQB1. molecular diversity classic Aime-MHC implies had evolved relatively abundant adaptive immunity along history host–pathogen co-evolution. Collectively, findings indicate natural accompanied drives contrasting between studied J. Exp. Zool. (Mol. Dev. Evol.) 314B:208–223, 2010. © 2009 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
