Do infectious diseases drive MHC diversity?

K J Jeffery1, C R Bangham.   

Abstract

The primary function of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) is to allow the immune system to identify infectious pathogens and eliminate them. Infectious diseases are now thought to be the main selection force that drives and maintains the extraordinary diversity of the MHC.
