Major Histocompatibility Complex
Watch the video for more explanation  https://oke.io/hjdm
MHC
• Major Histocompatibility Complex
– Cluster of genes found in all mammals
– Its products play role in discriminating self/non-self
– Participant in both humoral and cell-mediated immunity
• MHC Act As Antigen Presenting Structures
• In Human MHC Is Found On Chromosome 6
– Referred to as HLA complex
• In Mice MHC Is Found On Chromosome 17
– Referred to as H-2 complex
• Genes Of MHC Organized In 3 Classes
– Class I MHC genes
• Glycoproteins expressed on all nucleated cells
• Major function to present processed Ags to TC
– Class II MHC genes
• Glycoproteins expressed on M, B-cells, DCs
• Major function to present processed Ags to TH
– Class III MHC genes
• Products that include secreted proteins that have immune
functions. Ex. Complement system, inflammatory molecules
MHC
• Class I MHC Genes Found In Regions A, B and C
In Humans (K and D In Mice)
• Class II MHC Genes Found In Regions DR, DP and
DQ (IA and IE In Mice)
• Class I and Class II MHC Share Structural Features
– Both involved in APC
• Class III MHC Have No Structural Similarity To
Class I and II
– Ex. TNF, heat shock proteins, complement components
Class I, II and III MHC
• MHC Products Are Highly Polymorphic
– Vary considerably from person to person
• However, Crossover Rate Is Low
– 0.5% crossover rate
– Inherited as 2 sets (one from father, one from mother)
– Haplotype refers to set from mother or father
• MHC Alleles Are Co-dominantly Expressed
– Both mother and father alleles are expressed
• Inbred Mice Haplotypes Are Designated With Italic
Superscript
– Ex. H-2b
– Designation refers to entire set of H-2 alleles
MHC Genes Are Polymorphic
Inheritance Of HLA Haplotypes
• Comprised of 2 molecules
–  chain (45 kDa), transmembrane
– 2-microglobulin (12 kDa)
– Non-covalently associated with each oth
• Association Of  Chain and 2 Is Required For Surface Expression
•  Chain Made Up Of 3 Domains (1, 2 and 3)
• 2-microglobulin Similar To 3
• 1 And 2 Form Peptide Binding Cleft
– Fits peptide of about 8-10 a/a long
• 3 Highly Conserved Among MHC I Molecules
– Interacts with CD8 (TC) molecule
Class I MHC Molecule
• Comprised of  and  chains
–  chain and  chain associate non-covalently
•  and  chains Made Up Of Domains
– 1 and 2 ( chain)
– 1 and 2 ( chain)
• 1and 1 Form Antigen Binding Cleft
•  and  Heterodimer Has Been Shown To Dimerize
• CD4 Molecule Binds 2/2 domains
Class II MHC Molecule
Class I And II Similarity
• Several Hundred Allelic Variants Have Been Identified In
Humans
• However, up to 6 MHC I And 12 MHC II Molecules Are
Expressed In An Individual
• Enormous Number Of Peptides Needs To Be Presented
Using These MHC Molecules
• To Achieve This Task MHC Molecules Are Not Very
Specific For Peptides (Unlike TCR and BCR)
• Promiscuous Binding Occurs
– A peptide can bind a number of MHC
– An MHC molecule can bind numerous peptides
Class I And II Specificity
• MHC Is One Of The Most Polymorphic
Complexes Known
• Alleles Can Differ Up To 20 a/a
• Class I Alleles In Humans: 240 A, 470 B, 110 C
• Class II Alleles In Humans: HLA-DR 350 , 2 !
• HLA-DR
–  genes vary from 2-9 in different individuals!!!,
– 1  gene ( can combine with all  products increasing
number of APC molecules)
• DP (2 , 2 ) and DQ (2 , 3 )
Class I And II Diversity And
Polymorphism
• Peptides Presented Thru MHC I Are Endogenous
Proteins
• As Few As 100 Peptide/MHC Complex Can
Activate TC
• Peptide Features
– size 8-10 a/a, preferably 9
• Peptides Bind MHC Due To Presence Of Specific
a/a Found At The Ends Of Peptide. Ex. Glycine @
Position 2
Class I MHC Peptides
• Peptides Presented Thru MHC II Are Exogenous
– Processed thru endocytic pathway
• Peptides Are Presented To TH
• Peptides Are 13-18 a/a Long
• Binding Is Due To Central 13 a/a
• Longer Peptides Can Still Bind MHC II
– Like A long hot dog
• MHC I Peptides Fit Exactly, Not The Case With
MHC II Peptides
Class II MHC Peptides
• Expression Is Regulated By Many Cytokines
– IFN, IFN, IFN and TNF Increase MHC expression
• Transcription Factors That Increase MHC gene
Expression
– CIITA (Transactivator), RFX (Transactivator)
• Some Viruses Decrease MHC Expression
– CMV, HBV, Ad12
• Reduction Of MHC May Allow For Immune System
Evasion
MHC Expression

17.histocompatability complex

  • 1. Major Histocompatibility Complex Watch the video for more explanation  https://oke.io/hjdm
  • 2. MHC • Major Histocompatibility Complex – Cluster of genes found in all mammals – Its products play role in discriminating self/non-self – Participant in both humoral and cell-mediated immunity • MHC Act As Antigen Presenting Structures • In Human MHC Is Found On Chromosome 6 – Referred to as HLA complex • In Mice MHC Is Found On Chromosome 17 – Referred to as H-2 complex
  • 3. • Genes Of MHC Organized In 3 Classes – Class I MHC genes • Glycoproteins expressed on all nucleated cells • Major function to present processed Ags to TC – Class II MHC genes • Glycoproteins expressed on M, B-cells, DCs • Major function to present processed Ags to TH – Class III MHC genes • Products that include secreted proteins that have immune functions. Ex. Complement system, inflammatory molecules MHC
  • 4. • Class I MHC Genes Found In Regions A, B and C In Humans (K and D In Mice) • Class II MHC Genes Found In Regions DR, DP and DQ (IA and IE In Mice) • Class I and Class II MHC Share Structural Features – Both involved in APC • Class III MHC Have No Structural Similarity To Class I and II – Ex. TNF, heat shock proteins, complement components Class I, II and III MHC
  • 5.
  • 6. • MHC Products Are Highly Polymorphic – Vary considerably from person to person • However, Crossover Rate Is Low – 0.5% crossover rate – Inherited as 2 sets (one from father, one from mother) – Haplotype refers to set from mother or father • MHC Alleles Are Co-dominantly Expressed – Both mother and father alleles are expressed • Inbred Mice Haplotypes Are Designated With Italic Superscript – Ex. H-2b – Designation refers to entire set of H-2 alleles MHC Genes Are Polymorphic
  • 7. Inheritance Of HLA Haplotypes
  • 8. • Comprised of 2 molecules –  chain (45 kDa), transmembrane – 2-microglobulin (12 kDa) – Non-covalently associated with each oth • Association Of  Chain and 2 Is Required For Surface Expression •  Chain Made Up Of 3 Domains (1, 2 and 3) • 2-microglobulin Similar To 3 • 1 And 2 Form Peptide Binding Cleft – Fits peptide of about 8-10 a/a long • 3 Highly Conserved Among MHC I Molecules – Interacts with CD8 (TC) molecule Class I MHC Molecule
  • 9.
  • 10. • Comprised of  and  chains –  chain and  chain associate non-covalently •  and  chains Made Up Of Domains – 1 and 2 ( chain) – 1 and 2 ( chain) • 1and 1 Form Antigen Binding Cleft •  and  Heterodimer Has Been Shown To Dimerize • CD4 Molecule Binds 2/2 domains Class II MHC Molecule
  • 11. Class I And II Similarity
  • 12.
  • 13. • Several Hundred Allelic Variants Have Been Identified In Humans • However, up to 6 MHC I And 12 MHC II Molecules Are Expressed In An Individual • Enormous Number Of Peptides Needs To Be Presented Using These MHC Molecules • To Achieve This Task MHC Molecules Are Not Very Specific For Peptides (Unlike TCR and BCR) • Promiscuous Binding Occurs – A peptide can bind a number of MHC – An MHC molecule can bind numerous peptides Class I And II Specificity
  • 14. • MHC Is One Of The Most Polymorphic Complexes Known • Alleles Can Differ Up To 20 a/a • Class I Alleles In Humans: 240 A, 470 B, 110 C • Class II Alleles In Humans: HLA-DR 350 , 2 ! • HLA-DR –  genes vary from 2-9 in different individuals!!!, – 1  gene ( can combine with all  products increasing number of APC molecules) • DP (2 , 2 ) and DQ (2 , 3 ) Class I And II Diversity And Polymorphism
  • 15.
  • 16. • Peptides Presented Thru MHC I Are Endogenous Proteins • As Few As 100 Peptide/MHC Complex Can Activate TC • Peptide Features – size 8-10 a/a, preferably 9 • Peptides Bind MHC Due To Presence Of Specific a/a Found At The Ends Of Peptide. Ex. Glycine @ Position 2 Class I MHC Peptides
  • 17.
  • 18.
  • 19. • Peptides Presented Thru MHC II Are Exogenous – Processed thru endocytic pathway • Peptides Are Presented To TH • Peptides Are 13-18 a/a Long • Binding Is Due To Central 13 a/a • Longer Peptides Can Still Bind MHC II – Like A long hot dog • MHC I Peptides Fit Exactly, Not The Case With MHC II Peptides Class II MHC Peptides
  • 20.
  • 21. • Expression Is Regulated By Many Cytokines – IFN, IFN, IFN and TNF Increase MHC expression • Transcription Factors That Increase MHC gene Expression – CIITA (Transactivator), RFX (Transactivator) • Some Viruses Decrease MHC Expression – CMV, HBV, Ad12 • Reduction Of MHC May Allow For Immune System Evasion MHC Expression
