10 Questions
Which type of pathogens do MHC class I molecules present peptide antigens derived from?
Pathogens that replicate inside the cell, such as viruses
From where do MHC class II molecules present peptides?
Pathogens and antigens present outside the cell taken up by endocytic vesicles of phagocytic cells
What is the function of MHC class I molecules in the immune response?
Present peptide antigens derived from intracellular pathogens
Which type of cells take up pathogens and antigens present outside the cell for presentation by MHC class II molecules?
Phagocytic cells with endocytic vesicles
What does MHC stand for?
Major Histocompatibility Complex
What is the function of MHC class I molecules in the immune response?
Present peptide antigens derived from pathogens that replicate inside the cell
Where do MHC class II molecules present peptides from?
Pathogens and antigens present outside the cell taken up by endocytic vesicles of phagocytic cells
What is the main function of the Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC)?
Present antigens to T cells
How does MHC class II differ from MHC class I in terms of antigen presentation?
Presents peptides from pathogens and antigens present outside the cell
How is MHC polymorphism generated?
Through genetic variation and recombination
