Outline of Final Research Achievements |
For validation of diversity and molecular evolution of immunity related genes which contribute to resist to pathogenic microorganisms such as fungal diseases by batrachochytrium dendrobatidis, we identified major histocompatibility complex (MHC) and natural immune system related genes in endangered amphibian species (Ishikawa’s frogs, Otton frog, Holsti’s frog, Ryukyu tip-nosed frogs and crocodile newt) distributing in South-Western islands in Japan. As the results of this study, we identified multiple MHC I and II genes and natural immunity related genes in all six species and also elucidated diversities and different expression patterns among different species.
