Study of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) has rarely been more exciting or fruitful than at present. New HLA genes are regularly being discovered, and the elucidation of molecular structure and antigen presentation at the molecular level continues apace. These, and the emerging contribution of MHC analysis to molecular anthropology and to the study of evolution, were addressed at a recent workshop.
对主要组织相容性复合体(MHC)的研究,鲜少有比现在更令人兴奋且富有成果的时候。新的人类白细胞抗原(HLA)基因不断被发现,分子结构的阐明以及分子水平上的抗原呈递研究也在迅速推进。近期的一次研讨会上探讨了这些内容,以及MHC分析在分子人类学和进化研究方面日益凸显的贡献。
