This flashcard defines MHC molecules (also known as histocompatibility antigens) as highly polymorphic cell-surface proteins crucial for presenting peptide antigens to T cells.
Proteínas altamente polimórficas de la superficie celular involucradas en la presentación de antígenos peptídicos a las células T. También se conocen como antígenos de histocompatibilidad.
