Highlights ► Single MHC molecules in chicken versus multiple MHC molecules in mammals. ► Single MHC molecules in chicken strongly determine immune response. ► Single chicken class I due to co-evolution with polymorphic antigen processing genes. ► Co-evolution in chicken MHC due to different genomic organisation. ► Chicken MHC like ancestral MHC, with inversion in lineage to mammals.
