Scope and Contents

Contents

The unprecedented genetic diversity found at vertebrate MHC (major histocompatibility complex) loci influences susceptibility to most infectious and autoimmune diseases. The evolutionary explanation for how these polymorphisms are maintained has been controversial. One leading explanation, antagonistic coevolution (also known as the Red Queen), pos...
