Absolutely not.
Major histocompatibility complex (MHC) is a cell surface molecule encoded by a large gene family in all vertebrates. MHC molecules mediate interactions of leukocytes, also called white blood cells (WBCs), which are immune cells, with other leukocytes or body cells.

What are the cells that target the MHC proteins on another cell?
macrophages
What molecule displays an antigen on the surface of the cells?
Major histocompatibility complex (MHC) molecules display antigens on the surface of cells. There are two main classes: MHC class I, which presents antigens to CD8+ cytotoxic T cells, and MHC class II, which presents antigens to CD4+ helper T cells. These molecules play a crucial role in the immune response by enabling the recognition of foreign substances by T cells.
Are MHC 1 proteins found on most cells of the body?
Yes, MHC class I proteins are found on most nucleated cells in the body. They play a key role in presenting endogenous antigens to cytotoxic T cells for immune surveillance and response.
Do neurons have mhc class 1 receptors?
Yes, neurons can express MHC class I receptors on their surface under certain conditions. This expression is important for immune surveillance and can contribute to neurological disorders when dysregulated.
When an antigen is bound to a class II MHC protein it can activate what cell?
When an antigen is bound to a class II MHC protein, it can activate helper T cells. Helper T cells play a critical role in initiating and coordinating immune responses by releasing various signaling molecules and activating other immune cells.
Four of the five cells listed - viruses cells - MHC markers - cancer cells - bacteria - dead cells - are targets of the immune system - Select the exception?
MHC markers- which are proteins that present or "show" antigens like bacteria to other immune cells. Instead of being targets, they are helper proteins of the immune system.
Do T cells express MHC II?
No, T cells do not express MHC II. MHC II molecules are primarily found on antigen-presenting cells, such as dendritic cells, macrophages, and B cells, and are involved in presenting antigens to T cells for immune responses. T cells, on the other hand, express MHC I molecules, which present antigens to other immune cells.
What cells express MHC class II molecules?
There are two classes of MHC. MHC I are expressed in all cells except red blood cells (because they lack nuclei). MHC I andMHC II are expressed in professional antigen presenting cells (APC's) that include :macrophages, dendritic cells and B cells.
Which of the types of cells display protein fragments produced by the cancer within them?
All nucleated cells bring pieces of endogenous proteins to the surface to display on the MHC protein.
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.
Do T cells have major histocompatibility complex (MHC) molecules?
Yes, T cells have major histocompatibility complex (MHC) molecules.
Difference between MHC class1 and MHC class2 molecules?
MHC proteins express antigens on a cell surface for T cells to identify whether the antigens presented are self or foreign. There are two classes MHC I and MHC II. They differ in which cells they require to activate depending on the pathogen present.
Where are major histocompatibility complex-you MHC-you molecules located?
Each individual has a unique MHC profile Clinically important MHC are HLA(human leukocyte antigens) -A, -B -DR -expression of a particular combination of MHC genes Class I - are located on all nucleated cells Class II - are located on macrophages, dendritic cells, B cells.
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.
How does involvement of MHC 1 and MHC 2 help immune system?
MHC IMHC I is present in all cells except red blood cells (they lack nuclei). MHC I will present an intravesicular antigen to the cells surface for it to be identified as self or foreign by your adaptive immunity cells.MHC IIMHC II is present in professional antigen presenting cells which include: macrophages, B cells and dendritic cells. These cells will engulf bacteria, soluble proteins, viruses, etc. Whatever was taken into the cell becomes processed in the increasingly acidic endosome that eventually will cut the antigen into peptides. MHC II transported from the ER will meet up with this endosome and the peptides will bind to MHC II for it to eventually present on the cells surface.
If cancer cells are foreign and harmful to our body how come our immune system doesn't fight it?
Yes our immune system does fight it. These are the NK cells. NK cells naturally present Inhibitory R and NK R. Target cells do not present MHC but present the ligand for NKR. So although lignad on NK binds to NKR, there is no MHC to interact with inhibitory R. So NK cells do not receive inhibitory signal and attacks the cell (e.g. cancerous cell). But at times there may be cancer cells undetected, which is why our immune system can't 'sense' it.
What are the cells that target the MHC proteins on another cell?
macrophages
