    Integral Membrane Protein Complexes on Cell Surfaces

    • Integral membrane protein complexes on cell surfaces play a crucial role in antigen presentation, enabling the immune system to recognize and respond to pathogens.

    MHC Molecule Production

    • MHC molecules are produced in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) of cells.

    MHC Class I and Class II Molecules

    • MHC class I molecules are responsible for presenting endogenous antigens (from inside the cell) to CD8+ T cells, which then recognize and eliminate infected cells.
    • MHC class II molecules, on the other hand, present exogenous antigens (from outside the cell) to CD4+ T cells, which activate other immune cells to respond to the pathogen.
