Major Histocompatibility Complex Macrophage Antigens Pathogen Surface Membrane

Front Describe the role of the major histocompatibility complex in the cytoplasm of macrophages at the end of phagocytosis.
Back Major histocompatibility complex (MHC):
  • Glycoprotein
  • Macrophage combines antigens from pathogen surface membrane with MHC 
  • MHC moves pathogen antigens to macrophage surface membrane becoming an antigen-presenting cell which stimulates
