MAJOR HISTOCOMPATIBILITY COMPLEX (MHC)
* Named MHC following identification of region responsible for rejection of tissue or organ transplant

* Large number of variants in human population
* Variants responsible for* Host versus graft* Graft versus host

MAJOR HISTOCOMPATIBILITY COMPLEX (MHC)
* Complex also called* Human leukocyte antigen (HLA) complex
* Antibodies originally used to identify MHC molecules react with leukocytes
* HLA I genes and HLA II genes* Located on short arm of chromosome 6
* Beta-2-microglobulin (C-15) and invariant chain (C-5) not located in HLA region

MECHANISMS OF DIVERSITY IN MHC MOLECULES
* Polygeny (polygenic)* Multiple genes encode alpha chain of MHC I molecules
* Multiple genes encode alpha and beta chains of MHC II
molecules
* Polymorphism (polymorphic)* Multiple alternative forms of MHC I and MHC II genes in human
population
* Alternative gene forms called “alleles”

POLYGENY AND POLYMORPHISM IN HUMAN MHC CLASS I MOLECULES
* Polygeny (multiple genes)* 3 genes for alpha chain
* HLA-A, HLA-B and HLA-C
* Polymorphism (multiple alleles)* Alleles
* HLA-A (506)
* HLA-B (872)
* HLA-C (274)

POLYGENY AND POLYMORPHISM IN HUMAN MHC CLASS II MOLECULES
* Polygeny (multiple genes)* HLA-DP
* 1 gene for each alpha and beta chian
* HLA-DQ * 1 gene for each alpha and beta chain
* HLA-DR * 1 gene for alpha chain
* DRA* 4 genes for beta chain
* DRB1, DRB3, DRB4, DRB5
* Polymorphism (alleles)* Multiple alleles for all genes except DRA

MHC POLYMORPHISM AND REJECTION OF TRANSPLANTED TISSUES AND
ORGANS
* MHC molecules primary reason for transplant rejection
* Allogeneic* Genetic differences between two members of same species
* Alloantigens* Antigens which differ between members of same species
* Alloreaction* Immune response to alloantigens
* MHC allotype variation is clustered in peptide binding site
