Major histocompatibility complex and sexual selection
Adaptive immune gene selection
Major histocompatibility complex (MHC) genes code for cell surface proteins that facilitate an organism's immune response to pathogens as well as its ability to avoid attacking its own cells. These genes have maintained an unusually high level of allelic diversity throughout time and throughout different populations. This means that for each MHC gene, many alleles consistently exist within the population, and many individuals are heterozygous at MHC loci.
