Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC) antigens are a set of cell surface proteins essential for the acquired immune system to identify foreign molecules. MHC antigens bind to pathogen antigens and display them on the cell surface for identification by T-cells. MHC is a cluster of genes on chromosome 6 in humans that encodes these antigens. There are three classes of MHC - Class I presents antigens to CD8 T-cells on all nucleated cells, Class II presents antigens to CD4 T-cells on antigen presenting cells like macrophages, and Class III plays a role in immune function through complement and cytokines. MHC antigens act as antigen presenting structures and play important roles in immune responses, transplantation tissue matching, and autoimmune diseases.
1. The major histocompatibility complex (MHC) helps the immune system recognize foreign substances. It is expressed on nearly all cells and plays a crucial role in organ transplant compatibility.
2. MHC molecules are classified into three types - MHC class I presents antigens to T cells within cells, MHC class II presents antigens to T cells between cells, and MHC class III encodes proteins unrelated to antigen presentation.
3. Antigens are processed through two pathways - the cytosolic pathway for endogenous antigens and the endocytic pathway for exogenous antigens - and bound to MHC molecules for presentation to T cells, which triggers an immune response against foreign or transplanted tissues that do not match the recipient's MHC.
The document discusses the major histocompatibility complex (MHC), which are surface proteins that play an important role in identifying antigens and presenting them to T cells. It covers the different classes of MHC molecules, their structures, functions in immunity, and examples in humans (HLA) and mice (H-2 complex). MHC molecules present peptide fragments on their surface and interact specifically with T cells through anchor residues on the peptides. They are essential for self/non-self discrimination, defense against infection, and transplantation compatibility.
The major histocompatibility complex (MHC) is a cluster of genes found in all mammals that encodes proteins important for the immune system to distinguish self from non-self. MHC molecules are expressed on the cell surface and present peptide antigens to T cells. There are three main classes of MHC genes - class I presents endogenous peptides to cytotoxic T cells, class II presents exogenous peptides to helper T cells, and class III encodes non-antigen presenting proteins involved in immunity. MHC molecules have binding sites that allow them to bind a variety of peptide antigens through anchor residues, helping the immune system recognize a diverse array of pathogens. Polymorphism of MHC alleles within populations helps provide protection against rapidly mutating pathogens.

Hybridoma technology and production of monoclonal antibodyRajpal Choudhary
Hybridoma technology allows for the mass production of monoclonal antibodies. It involves fusing antibody-producing B cells from the spleen of an immunized mouse with myeloma cancer cells, creating a hybridoma cell. These hybridoma cells are selected using HAT medium, which causes them to continuously secrete identical monoclonal antibodies. Monoclonal antibodies have many medical applications, including diagnosing diseases and infections through detection of specific antigens. For example, pregnancy tests detect the HCG hormone using monoclonal antibodies, and HIV tests detect HIV antibodies in blood serum using a multi-step process with monoclonal antibodies.

Humoral immunity is defined as the immunity mediated by antibodies, which are secreted by B lymphocytes.
B lymphocytes secrete the antibodies into the blood and lymph
This document discusses various techniques in microbial genetics including transformation, transduction, conjugation, plasmids, and transposons. Transformation involves the uptake of genetic material like DNA by bacterial cells. Transduction occurs when viruses called bacteriophages transfer genetic material between bacteria. Conjugation is the transfer of genetic material like plasmids through direct contact between bacteria. Plasmids are small circular DNA molecules that are distinct from chromosomal DNA and often provide genetic advantages to bacteria. Transposons are genetic elements that can move to different locations in a genome and contribute to the spread of traits like antibiotic resistance.

This document provides a summary of a credit seminar on the major histocompatibility complex (MHC). The seminar covered the introduction, definition, history, classes of MHC, differences between MHC class I and II, and MHC in animals. MHC plays an important role in distinguishing self from non-self and antigen presentation. There are three classes of MHC - class I presents antigens to cytotoxic T cells, class II presents antigens to helper T cells, and class III encodes immune system proteins. MHC genes are highly polymorphic and influence disease resistance in various animal species.
Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC) molecules display antigen peptides on the surface of cells to be recognized by T cells. There are two main types of MHC molecules: class I molecules present intracellular peptides to CD8+ T cells on most nucleated cells, while class II molecules present extracellular peptides to CD4+ T cells on antigen-presenting cells like dendritic cells and macrophages. MHC molecules bind peptides promiscuously but polymorphisms among individuals influence peptide binding. Dendritic cells are especially effective at antigen capture and presentation to initiate primary T cell responses.
The Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC) refers to a set of genes that code for MHC proteins found on the surfaces of cells. These proteins help the immune system recognize foreign substances by presenting antigen fragments to T cells. There are three main classes of MHC molecules: class I molecules present antigens to CD8+ T cells on nearly all nucleated cells; class II molecules present antigens to CD4+ T cells and are found on antigen-presenting cells; class III molecules encode for other immune system proteins. MHC molecules have a groove that binds peptides for presentation to T cells, allowing the immune system to detect infected or damaged cells.
The Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC) is a set of genes located on chromosome 6 that encode MHC molecules displayed on cell surfaces. MHC molecules control the immune response through recognition of self and non-self antigens. There are two main classes of MHC molecules - Class I molecules present intracellular peptides to CD8+ T cells, while Class II molecules present extracellular peptides internalized by antigen presenting cells to CD4+ T cells. MHC molecules play a crucial role in the immune system through antigen presentation and recognition.

The document provides information about MHC molecules. It discusses that MHC molecules are classified into two types - Class I and Class II. Class I molecules are expressed on all nucleated cells and present intracellularly derived peptides to CD8+ T cells. Class II molecules are only expressed on antigen presenting cells and present extracellularly derived peptides to CD4+ T cells. It describes the structure of Class I and Class II molecules and the pathways of antigen processing and loading of peptides onto MHC molecules. It also discusses T cell recognition of peptide-MHC complexes and the process of cross-presentation.
Adaptive immunity and B cell development involve multiple steps:
1. B cells develop in the bone marrow from hematopoietic stem cells over 1-2 weeks to become mature B cells expressing surface immunoglobulin.
2. Mature B cells leave the bone marrow and migrate to secondary lymphoid tissues where they encounter antigens.
3. Upon antigen recognition, B cells activate, proliferate, and differentiate into either plasma cells that secrete antibodies or memory B cells. Plasma cells localize mainly to the bone marrow.
The major histocompatibility complex (MHC) is a cluster of genes located on chromosome 6 in humans that encodes proteins involved in the immune system's recognition of self and non-self. The MHC includes class I, II, and III genes. Class I genes produce molecules that present intracellular peptides to cytotoxic T cells, while class II genes produce molecules that present extracellular peptides to helper T cells. Antigens are processed through either the cytosolic or endocytic pathway and bound to MHC molecules to be presented at the cell surface for recognition by T cells.
Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC) molecules present peptide antigens to T cells and are highly polymorphic. MHC molecules are classified into three main classes - Class I molecules present intracellular peptides to CD8+ T cells, Class II present extracellular peptides to CD4+ T cells, and Class III genes encode complement proteins. MHC molecules have a peptide-binding groove that binds short peptides for presentation to T cells. MHC polymorphism generates a diverse repertoire of molecules that can present a wide variety of peptides and mount immune responses against pathogens.

The document provides an overview of major histocompatibility complex (MHC) molecules, including their history, structure, organization and inheritance, and functions in antigen presentation and immune responses. MHC molecules are membrane-bound glycoproteins that are encoded by genes in the MHC locus and present antigen peptides to T cells to initiate adaptive immune responses against intracellular and extracellular pathogens.
The document summarizes the major histocompatibility complex (MHC). It discusses how the MHC was discovered through studies of tissue transplantation in mice. The MHC locus contains genes that encode MHC class I and class II molecules that present antigens to T cells and play a key role in immune responses. MHC molecules are expressed on nearly all nucleated cells for class I and specifically on antigen presenting cells for class II. The genomic organization and structures of MHC class I and II molecules allow them to present peptides to CD8+ or CD4+ T cells, respectively.
The major histocompatibility complex (MHC) is a set of surface proteins located on nucleated cells that plays an important role in distinguishing self from non-self and antigen presentation. There are two types of MHC molecules: class I MHC molecules present antigens to cytotoxic T cells on all nucleated cells, while class II MHC molecules present antigens to helper T cells and are found only on antigen-presenting cells. Both MHC classes consist of a transmembrane alpha chain and beta chain that form a peptide-binding groove to load and present antigen peptides. MHC molecules allow the immune system to recognize foreign substances so the body's immune response can be triggered.
The major histocompatibility complex (MHC) is a collection of genes that encode glycoproteins found on the surface of mammalian cells. MHC proteins present antigens and help the immune system distinguish self from nonself. There are two major classes of MHC molecules: class I molecules present antigens to cytotoxic T cells on all nucleated cells, while class II molecules present antigens to helper T cells on antigen-presenting cells that have engulfed foreign antigens. Together, MHC molecules play a key role in cell-cell interaction and initiating adaptive immune responses.
The document discusses the major histocompatibility complex (MHC), which controls a major part of the immune system. It defines MHC as a set of cell surface proteins expressed on all nucleated cells and encoded by a large gene family. MHC molecules play a role in antigen presentation, autoimmune diseases, and transplantation. MHC genes in humans are found on chromosome 6 and are divided into three classes - class I expressed on all tissues, class II expressed mainly by antigen presenting cells, and class III encoding complement and TNF proteins. MHC molecules participate in discriminating self from non-self and in both humoral and cell-mediated immunity by presenting antigens.
The major histocompatibility complex (MHC) is a collection of genes on chromosome 6 in humans that code for MHC molecules. MHC molecules are divided into three classes: class I molecules are found on almost all nucleated cells and present intracellular peptides; class II molecules are found on antigen-presenting cells and present extracellular peptides; class III molecules are secreted proteins with immune functions like complement components. MHC molecules present peptide fragments to T cells to trigger immune responses and also determine compatibility for organ transplants.
Major histocompatibility complex and antigen presentation & processingAISHUJ3
The major histocompatibility complex (MHC) was discovered through studies of transplant rejection in inbred mouse strains. The MHC encodes three classes of molecules - class I molecules present peptides to CD8+ T cells, class II molecules present peptides to CD4+ T cells, and class III molecules play roles in immune responses. MHC molecules have a peptide-binding cleft that binds peptides derived from antigens. The polymorphisms in MHC genes allow presentation of a wide variety of peptides and help populations respond to diverse pathogens.
The major histocompatibility complex (MHC) is a collection of genes located on chromosome 6 in humans that encode MHC molecules. MHC molecules present peptide fragments on the cell surface to help the immune system identify infected or damaged cells. There are two main classes of MHC molecules: class I molecules present peptides from intracellular proteins on most nucleated cells to cytotoxic T cells, while class II molecules present peptides from extracellular proteins on antigen-presenting cells to helper T cells. MHC molecules play a key role in immune system functions like regulating T cell development and activating immune responses against pathogens.

Immunoglobulin, also known as antibodies, are Y-shaped glycoprotein molecules that are produced by plasma cells in response to antigens. There are five major classes of immunoglobulins (IgG, IgM, IgA, IgD, IgE) which differ in their structure, function, and location. IgG makes up 80% of antibodies in serum and provides protection against toxins and viruses. IgM is the first antibody produced during infection and is effective against microbes. IgA is found in secretions where it provides localized protection of mucosal surfaces.

3. Introduction
3
Major Histocompactibility complex (MHC) is set of surface
proteins located on the cell membrane of nucleated cells.
It plays more important work to indentify the antigen between
self and non self body, intracellular recognization and
responsible for antigen presentation.
Histo refers to tissues. Compatibility refers to living together
harmoniously.
MHC molecules always recognize only T lymphocytes. The two
types of MHC are worked in immunity. T helper (Th) cell
recognized by MHC molecules II, and T cytotoxic (Tc) cells are
recognized by MHC I molecules.
4. Definitio
n
4
“Major Histocompactibility complex is membrane attached
protein which work on recognization of antigen between self
and non self body and antigen presentation”.
5. History
5
Peter Gorer (1930) found that four group of MHC
molecules he used the blood sample of mice to identified the
blood group antigen which designated by I to IV group of
MHC.
Georg Snell, Jean Dausset and Bariy received noble prize in
1980 for their contribution to the discovery of MHC molecule.
6. Classes of MHC
Molecules
6
The MHC molecules are classified in to four classes namely ;-
1. Class I MHC molecules
2. Class II MHC molecules
3. Class III MHC molecules
4. Class IV MHC molecules
7. Class I MHC
Molecules
7
Class I MHC(45 KD) molecule are a group of major
histocompactibility antigen.
They are present on the surface of all nucleated cells
except nervous tissue and platelets.
It present antigen to Tc cells.
It bind with CD-8 adhesion molecules of Tc cells.
It brings about cell mediated immune response.
8. Structure of Class I MHC Molecule
8
It consists two polypeptide chains namely α chain and β2 – micro
globulin.
α chain which is non covalently attached with β2 microglobuline . α chain
contain a transmembrane glycoprotein which is encoded by A,B and C gene
of grouped HLA.
α chain is organized by three domains such as α 1, α 2 and α 3 each domain
containing 90 amino acids sequences .
β2 microglobuline is similar in size of α 3 and it dose not contain trans
membrane proteins .
When the antigen is internalized and processed inside by proteosome
(Ubiquitin, cytosolicdegradation), the peptidesare produced .
Peptide is further loaded on the groove of MHC I molecules from
endoplasmic reticulum.
10. Class II MHC Molecule
10
Class II MHC molecule are present on the surface of
antigen presenting cell and cell which engulfed the foreign
antigen.
It binds with the exogenous(endocytic degradation )
antigens.
It binds with CD4 adhesion molecules TH cells.
It also consist of two polypeptide chains namely α chain
and β chain.
Antigen is processed inside the endosome and peptide is
further loaded on groove of MHC II molecules.
11. Structure of MHC II Molecule
11
The class II MHC Molecule consists of two polypeptide chain
namely α chain (33 kDa) and β (28kDa) chain.
The both chain are attached noncovelantly.
Each chain contains two units. The two units of α chain are
called α1 and α2. The two domains of β chains are called β1
and β2.
β2 and α2 are transmembrane domains anchoring the MHC to
plasma membrane.
The α1 and β1 domains jointly bear a peptide binding groove.
13. Class III MHC molecule
13
The molecules include complements like C2 and
C4 and Bf (factor B).
Class IV MHC molecule
These molecule is present on T cells of
leukemia(Tla) as well as on immature thymocytes
.
14. HLA - HumanLeukocyte
Antigen
14
HLA is the human leukocyte antigen.
HLA is the MHC molecules present in human beings.
HLA is a set of surface protein present on the surface of
all nucleated cells. They are responsible for graft
rejection, adaptive immunity, defense against infection,
some time it is expressed on cancer cell destruction,
certain autoimmune diseases and certain complements.
MHC is the general term referring to the cell surface
antigen of vertebrates.
15. H-2 Complex Of
Mouse
15
The major histocompactibility complex (MHC)of
mouse is called H-2complex.
H-2 complex is a clusterof genes responsible for the
production of antigens located of nucleated cells
and complementcomponents.
This complex is located in the shortarm of the
chromosome number 17.
Itconsistsof a setof structural genes .
The genes, that make upa given histocompactibility
complex, are called halotypes.
16. Function of MHC
Molecules
16
MHC molecules are loaded with a bit of sample peptide
fragment derived from the degradation of proteins present
inside the cell. This peptide is the mirror image of proteins
present inside the cell.
MHC molecules contain self as well as nonself (foreign)
antigen.
They bring about defense against infections and diseases.
They mediate certain autoimmune diseases.
They are responsible for individual smell of people.
17. Summary
17
The both MHC I and II molecule are responsible for
antigen presentation and it has application of antigen
recognization between self and nonself recognization,
mostly they are located on T lymphocytes encoded by
chromosome 6 of the human. The two types of antigen
degradated peptides (exogenous and endogenous) are
involved to complete these process of antigen
neutralization.
