This history dictates how the system works and why it has certain properties and not others. This is why we need to study not only the structure and function, but also the history of the system. This argument undoubtedly applies to the study of the immune system and also to the study of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC). Since 1989, researchers of various scientific disciplines who share a deep inter est in MHC evolution have held a meeting every two years to discuss their latest research developments, exchange ideas, and foster friendship. Together with my colleagues Drs. Naoyuki Takahata and Yoko Satta, I organized the Sixth Interna tional Workshop on MHC Evolution in Hayama, Japan, May 25-29, 1999. This volume is the proceedings of that conference. It covers diverse topics pertinent to MHC evolution, including the origin of the adaptive immune system, the organi zation of the MHC in humans and other model vertebrates, MHC-parasite co evolution, and the nature and origin of MHC polymorphism. I hope that this book will be of interest not only for MHC researchers and immunologists, but a | 出版日期 | Conference proceedings 2000 | 关键词 | AIDS; Antigen; Immune System; Immunity; Viruses; proteins; regulation | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-4-431-65868-9 | isbn_softcover | 978-4-431-65870-2 | isbn_ebook | 978-4-431-65868-9 | copyright | Springer Japan 2000 |
