Major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class IIBmolecules play an important role in the adaptive immune response in fish. Previous study has reported that two highly polymorphic class IIBgenes,Cyse-DABandCyse-DBBexist in half-smooth tongue sole (Cynoglossus semilaevis). In this study, the polymorphism within exon 2 of the class IIBgenes following bacterial challenge was evaluated. Two hundredC. semilaevisindividuals were injected intraperitoneally withVibrio anguillarum. Muscle tissue from the first 20 dead and 20 of the survivors was collected for genotyping. Sixty alleles from the 40 individuals were isolated, of which 32 belonged toCyse-DABand 28 belonged toCyse-DBB. The rate ofdN(non-synonymous substitution) was higher than that ofdS(synonymous substitution) in the PBRs (peptide binding residues) of both class IIBgenes. Conversely, the rate ofdSwas higher thandNin the non-PBRs and the complete exon 2 sequence. Thus, the results suggest that positive selection has occurred in the PBRs and purifying selection in the non-PBRs and exon 2. Thirteen class IIBalleles were used to study the association between alleles and resistance to infection. Though not significant, allelesCyse-DAB*0601,Cyse-DAB*0706, andCyse-DBB*0101,Cyse-DBB*1301 were only found in surviving individuals and may represent alleles that have resistance againstV. anguillaruminfection. AllelesCyse-DAB*0701 andCyse-DAB*1301 were significantly more prevalent in dead individuals than in surviving ones and may represent alleles that are associated with increased susceptibility toV. anguillaruminfection.
