From: Reduced bonobo MHC class I diversity predicts a reduced viral peptide binding ability compared to chimpanzees

Fig. 4

“Individual”-level comparison of bound peptides. The percentage of bound peptides for 20 individual bonobos, 20 individual central chimpanzees and 20 individual western chimpanzees for the A, B and C loci. From top to bottom the whiskers and the box of each boxplot represents the 2.5th, 25th, 50th (median), 75th and 97.5th percentiles. Peptides bound by multiple MHC molecules within each individual for each loci and species/subspecies were counted only once. Significant differences between the different species/subspecies within each locus are indicated by stars above the different bars, thereby big stars above a bar represents significant differences to the other two bars within the corresponding locus and small stars with lines represents a significant difference between the two connected bars (Welch’s t-test, Bonferroni correction for multiple testing, p ≤ 0.00016 significant threshold after Bonferroni correction)
