MHCpræsentationen
MHCpræsentationen, also known as MHC presentation, refers to the process by which cells display fragments of proteins, called peptides, on their surface. This display is mediated by molecules called Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC) proteins. These MHC molecules act like molecular billboards, presenting these peptide fragments to other cells, particularly immune cells. The MHC system is crucial for the immune system's ability to distinguish between self and non-self, and to identify and eliminate infected or abnormal cells.
There are two main classes of MHC molecules involved in this process: MHC class I and MHC
MHC class II molecules are primarily found on specialized antigen-presenting cells (APCs), such as dendritic cells,
