B) Each of the two protein chains of a classical class I HLA protein are highly polymorphic, unlike for classical class II HLA proteins where only one of the protein chains is polymorphic.
C) Class I HLA proteins assist helper T lymphocytes to recognize peptide antigens, whereas class II HLA proteins assist cytotoxic T lymphocytes to recognize peptide antigens.
