  • The larger (α) chain has a molecular weight of 44 kDa in humans and 47 kDa in the mouse, and is encoded by an MHC Class I gene. (microbenotes.com)
  • The smaller chain, called β-2 microglobulin, has a molecular weight of 12 kDa in both species, and is encoded by a nonpolymorphic gene that is mapped outside of the MHC complex. (microbenotes.com)
  • Нейтрофіли The immune system consists of cellular components and molecular components that work together to destroy antigens. (msdmanuals.com)
  • В-клітини The immune system consists of cellular components and molecular components that work together to destroy antigens. (msdmanuals.com)
  • The thymus is composed of two distinct lobes, each of which is surrounded by a collagenous capsule with septa that extend into the corticomedullary junction, dividing the cortex further into lobules. (medscape.com)
  • 2 Understanding the biomolecular recognition and activation process, involving the innate and acquired immune responses, will ultimately lead to better and more effective approaches to enhanced immune protection. (wholisticmatters.com)
  • The immune system has two components-the innate and acquired immune system. (uspharmacist.com)
  • MHC class I and II molecules are assembled and loaded with their peptide ligands via different mechanisms. (embl-heidelberg.de)
  • Autoimmune diseases can be divided into two categories: tissue-specific autoimmune diseases (e.g. diabetes mellitus type 1 or multiple sclerosis) and systemic autoimmune diseases (e.g. systemic lupus erythematosus). (pocketdentistry.com)
