- MHC, also known as HLA, is involved in graft rejection, cell-mediated cytolysis, and graft-versus-host reactions.
- MHC I is found on all nucleated cells and is recognized by CD8 T cells when presented with an antigen.
- MHC II is more restricted in distribution and is found on immune system cells.
- HLA testing has clinical applications in organ transplantation, platelet donor selection, and genetic identification.
