Document Summary

Mhc 1 and mhc 2 are the different mhc"s. And within mhc1 proteins, hla-a, hla-b, and hla-c present peptides. And within mhc2 proteins, hla-dp, hla-dq, and hla- Mhc 1 consists of an alpha chain and a b2-microglobulin. The alpha chain has 3 domains a1, a2, and a3. The alpha chain is within the hla locus, the. B2 micro globulin is the same for everyone. The part of the mhc 1 protein that binds the peptide is the a1 and a2, the a3 is a supporting domain along with the b2 micro globulin. The source of peptides for mhc1 proteins are endogenous. Self peptides are loaded onto mhc 1 proteins and mhc 2 proteins. Mhc proteins are promiscuous in the respect that they will bind any type of peptide, they don"t distinguish between self and non-self peptide, they just bind any peptide that shares some affinity. How does cross-presentation occur: define allelic exclusion and how it differs from co-dominant expression.
