These proteins are called self markers. They tell the immune cells that they belong in the body and they should be attacked.Cell receptors (proteins) on the cell membrane mediate the inter cellular communications.
Tolerance of self-antigens.
they enable cells to communicate with one another. It is possible due to cellular adhesion molecules on the surface of the membrane. They also distinguish foreign cells from self cells.
At the heart of the immune response is the ability to distinguish between "self" and "non-self." Every cell in your body carries the same set of distinctive surface proteins that distinguish you as "self." Normally your immune cells do not attack your own body tissues, which all carry the same pattern of self-markers; rather, your immune system coexists peaceably with your other body cells in a state known as self-tolerance. This set of unique markers on human cells is called the major histocompatibility complex (MHC). There are two classes: MHC Class I proteins, which are on all cells, and MHC Class II proteins, which are only on certain specialized cells.
The body's immune system is able to distinguish between self and non-self cells through various mechanisms. One such mechanism is the presence of major histocompatibility complex (MHC) molecules on the surface of cells, which helps the immune system recognize self-cells. Non-self cells, such as infected or cancerous cells, may display abnormal proteins or antigens that are recognized as foreign by the immune system, prompting an immune response to attack and eliminate them.

A different cell surface protein serves to identify red blood cells as "self"; MHC 1 is not the only "self" marker.

The body's immune system is able to distinguish between self and non-self cells through various mechanisms.

T cells compare non-self antigens to HLA (human leukocyte antigens) molecules with proteins the system already knows are its own. Your T-cells don't react to your HLA because of tolerance but are not tolerant to the HLA proteins of someone else. Thus, when there is a non-self system in your body (i.e.: after a transplant), your T-cells will begin a cell-mediated immune response against it, considering them foreign.
