What is "major histocompatibility complex"?
The major histocompatibility complex (MHC) refers to a group of genes that encode proteins involved in presenting antigens to immune cells. It plays a crucial role in immune recognition and response by allowing immune cells to distinguish self from non-self. The MHC molecules are highly diverse and are responsible for initiating immune reactions and regulating immune tolerance in the human body.
