Figure 3From: High intralocus variability and interlocus recombination promote immunological diversity in a minimal major histocompatibility systemMendelian inheritance of MH class II alleles in five families of known parentage. Parental alleles are color-coded for ease of discrimination in offspring (Paternal alleles: light/dark blue; Maternal alleles: light/dark red). Blockwise inheritance of parental MH alleles provides direct evidence of tight physical linkage.Back to article page
