MHCpresenterade
MHCpresenterade is a term used to describe the function of Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC) molecules in presenting antigens to T cells. MHC molecules are a group of genes that code for proteins found on the surface of cells in vertebrates. Their primary role is to display fragments of proteins, known as peptides, to T cells. This presentation is crucial for the immune system to recognize self from non-self, and to mount an appropriate response against foreign invaders like bacteria and viruses, or against abnormal self-cells like cancer cells.
There are two main classes of MHC molecules involved in antigen presentation: MHC class I and MHC
MHC class II molecules, on the other hand, are primarily expressed on professional antigen-presenting cells (APCs)
