MHC
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hello, this is a two part question. This is for an immunology class for graduate school.
a) Explain what are the differences between H2-Kk and H2-Dd?
Differences between H2-Kk and H2-Dd:
H2-Kk H2-Dd
i) Cellular localization is plasma membrane i) Cellular localization is Type I membrane
protein
ii) MHC Class I molecules play a central role ii) MHC Class I H2 Dd is involved in the
in the immune system by presenting peptides presentation of foreign antigens to the
