''' Major Histocompatibility Complex''' (MHC) are part of the cell immune system. MHC molecules display antigens on the host cell’s surface. T cell or natural killer receptors recognize the MHC:peptide and activate the immune response.<br /> | ''' Major Histocompatibility Complex''' (MHC) are part of the cell immune system.
