MHC is an acronym for "major histocompatibility complex." If one desires to find out more about the MHC genetic issue, one might find reliable information on the government NIH website.

Why is it an Advantage to the population of species to have a highly polymorphic MHC region?

The advantage of having a highly polymorphic MHC is that it adds to variety of which it can bind to a peptide. If MHC cannot bind to a viral or bacterial peptide then your body cannot use its' adaptive immunity to fight off an infection. The T cell requires MHC to activate and if MHC is not binding to anything because it has such a small repertoire of alleles to create a MHC molecule, it will render T cells useless. So to have a highly polymorphic MHC gene that can encode to bind to many different peptides is advantageous for survival.


B-lymphocytes express both MHC-1 and MHC-2?

Yes they do. MHC 1 are expressed by all nucleated calls (except neurones) and platelets. MHC 11 are expressed by B-cells, macrophages and dendtitic cells. Therefore, some cells express both types.


Is MHC class 1 the same as HLA class 1?

The answer previously here about MHC referring to mice and HLA referring to humans is catagorically untrue! HLA and MHC are in fact the same, so HLA class 1 = MHC class 1. Same goes for class 2.


When MHC will be expressed?

MHC I and MHC II are always expressed. The antigen it presents on a cells surface can be foreign or it can be self. It is the T cell that determines whether what the MHC is displaying is self or not. Remember antigen can be protein, lipid, sugars, etc.
