Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The major histocompatibility complex (MHC) is a group of genes that codes for membrane proteins that can display foreign antigens. The MHC molecules are important in presenting foreign antigens to immune cells, allowing them to recognize and respond to the antigen. This process is important for both the activation and regulation of immune responses.
