The role of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) in the pathogenesis of AIDS is complex because of compounding variables within the virus, host, and environment. Important variables can be controlled by using the experimental animal model of AIDS induced by simian immunodeficiency virus in rhesus monkeys (Macaca mulatta). We studied whether the MHC type influenced which opportunistic infections arose in an individual monkey. Several associations were found. For example, cytomegalovirus was strongly associated with Mamu-B6 (p < 0.001), whereas Cryptosporidium was associated strongly with Mamu-DR3 (p < 0.001). We also found that having one opportunistic infection increased the risk of having another.

D008285 Major Histocompatibility Complex The genetic region which contains the loci of genes which determine the structure of the serologically defined (SD) and lymphocyte-defined (LD) TRANSPLANTATION ANTIGENS, genes which control the structure of the IMMUNE RESPONSE-ASSOCIATED ANTIGENS, HUMAN; the IMMUNE RESPONSE GENES which control the ability of an animal to respond immunologically to antigenic stimuli, and genes which determine the structure and/or level of the first four components of complement.
