    Glossary Major Histocompatibility Complex

    set of genes crucial for immune system's pathogen recognition

    The Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC) is a set of genes that play a crucial role in the immune system by helping the body recognize and respond to foreign substances. These genes produce proteins found on the surface of cells that present fragments of pathogens to immune cells, triggering an immune response.
