Major Histocompatibility
Complex

Advanced Cell Biology 12-05-17
What is the Major Histocompatibility Complex?
Cluster of genes found in all mammals
Play a role in discriminating self from
non-self via antigen presenting
structures
The MHC was discovered via inbred
mice strains
MHC genes are called Immune response genes
Structure = Polymorphic glycoprotein
3 main classes.
MHC I, MHC II, MHC III
MHC I and MHC II most well
known
MHC II is Promiscuous- Cleft allows
for the entry of more than just one
specific peptide sequence.
Polymorphic proteins
( recognize several different Ags )
Minor Histocompatibility Complex also
plays essential immune response roles.
MHC I vs. MHC II
Class I is more closed
Class II is more open
Class1
Length
conserved
(8-10 amino acids)
Can bulge (gives
Flexibility)
Generally
hydrophobic
Class 2
Length not
generally
conserved
13-18 amino
acids
Opens wider
MHC is codominantly expressed
How are haplotypes inherited?
One haplotype from mom and the
other from dad
They’re presented differently
Different peptides are recognized Self MHC
Restricted
Polygenism
Inherited has haplotypes
(Combination of alleles in a chromosome)
More than one type of MHC molecule in
each individual
Extensive differences in MHC molecules
between individuals
Haplotype influences the immune
response
Polymorphic proteins and Polygenic
Advantageous?
Genes in the MHC are tightly LINKED and usually inherited in a
unit well known as an MHC HAPLOTYPE
MHC allele A MHC allele B
Polymorphism and MHC:
Net Result: Ag binding specificity difference
Changes in the pockets, walls and floor of the peptide binding cleft
alter types of peptide able to bind MHC
Products of different MHC alleles bind a different repertoire of peptides
P S AYS I K I
R G Y YV Q Q L
MHC allele A
MHC allele B
Polymorphic nucleotides encode amino acids
associated with the peptide binding site
Cell MHC production & processing
Antigen processing is important because
It can provide clues about what is going on inside of the cell
Antigen of extracellular origin= Exogenous Pathway= MHC II
• Antigen taken in, digested by enzymes, and fused with a vesicle
containing MHC II
Intracellular origin=Endogenous pathway= MHC I
Lysed Ag transported into RER by TAP transporter
• Antigen detected within cell and is cleaved, processed, and
exocytosed to be presented on membrane on MHC I
Function (MHC Class I)
MHC I is in virtually all nucleated somatic cells, pAPCs, NK, NKT,
and CD8+ T cells
Self-MHC restriction:
T cells respond to only cells expressing
MHC I of the same haplotype
The restriction is between having the same haplotype
and The same TCR
Function (MHC Class II)
Self-MHC restriction: CD4+ T cells respond to only
cells expressing MHC II of the same haplotype
CD4+ Helper T cell rely on MHC II for the peptides
ability to bind to a target antigen.
MHC II is present on cells known as antigen
presenting cells (APCs) such as macrophages, DCs,
eosinophils, and B cells (B cell pathway shown on
right).
Ultimately, signaling leads to gene activation for
specific immunological effects depending on the
transcription factor.
Antigen Recognition: • MHC must recognize the
enormous diversity of Antigens
Antigen are
extremely
diverse
Adaptive
Immune
system must
not just
recognize
antigens
but also
remember
Professional Antigen Presenting Cells (pAPCs)
Transplant rejection occurs as a result of foreign
MHC immune responses

 Histoincompatible

Production of CD4+ and CD8+ cells
Fit for the Job?
• Immature T cells:
• positive selection followed by negative selection
• During selection changes in the membrane markers
occur
• Selection process involve highly specific challenges
• If they fail the test, they die
• Importance: Auto-immunity prevented

Editor's Notes

  • #4: Each recognize several different antigens (Ags) not just a specific single Ag MHC 1-8-10 aa MHC 2 13-18 aa, more open •
  • #6: Two of each of the six types of MHC molecule are expressed Yet, MHC alleles are NOT randomly distributed in the population Alleles segregation based on lineage and race Genes in the MHC are tightly LINKED and usually inherited in a unit called an MHC HAPLOTYPE
  • #7: alleles designated by small letter superscripts Polymorphism and polygenism in the MHC protects the population from pathogens evading the immune system A completely heterozygous mouse would have 8 different MHC 2 and 6 different MHC 1 Each human usually expresses: 3 types of MHC class I (A, B, C) and 3 types of MHC class II (DR, DP,DQ) to prevent evasion by pathogens
  • #9: Class 1:. Ag’s detected within the cell itself. Cytosol RER. Ag targeted and marked via UbQ and then processed by immunoproteosome. Go make it to the RER, TAP ( a ATP binding casesete). The Ag is folded by chaperones so it can fit the MHC (1) and Class 2: Ags taken in by endocytic clathrin coated vesicles. The vesicle meets a vesicle containing MHC 2 protein with its binding site protected by CLIP and Ag replaces clip. MO and DCs process via both MHCI and MHC II Invariant chain held by actin and myosin
  • #10: MHC 1: By almost all nucleated cells, like NKs which kill when MHC1(lo/-) T cells: restricted to self MHC haplotypes and self Ag Importance: This interaction leads to cell proliferation to respond to a foreign invader. The activated T cell makes many copies of itself with that particular Ag and proceed to kill the Invaders expressing the peptide presented.
  • #11: MHC 2 is (normally) a characteristic of APCs Acticated Mos
  • #12: bind to peptide antigens
  • #13: exogenous antigens in certain cell types (mainly DCs) can gain access to class I presentation pathways in a process called cross-presentation.
  • #14: F1 hybrid (one set of alleles from each parent) Mice of strain (A x B) are immunologically tolerant to A or B skin inflammation and lymphocyte infiltration Transplant rejection is due to an antigen-specific immune response with immunological memory. Factors influencing rejection Class 2 more important than class 1 because indirect presentation Self MHC binds TCR to foreign MHC stronglyBecomes activated, activates a lot of T cells (Direct allo-activation)
  • #15: Double positive cell Positive Selection of cells responsive to MHC Double positive cell; Negative Selection of cells responsive to MHC Single-positive cell; CD4+ Single-positive cell; CD8+
  • #18: \
