Histocompatibility Molecules
Histocompatibility molecules are glycoproteins expressed at the surface of almost all vertebrate cells.

histocompatibility antigens - cell surface glycoproteins that differ from individual to individual; their recognition as foreign by a host organism is responsible for rejection of grafted foreign tissue.
major histocompatibility complex (MHC)
A large set of cell surface antigens encoded by a family of genes. Foreign MHC markers trigger T-cell responses that may lead to the rejection of transplanted tissues and organs.

Major histocompatibility complex (MHC) Integral membrane proteins that bind and display on a cell's surface peptides derived from the digestion of proteins from the cytosol (class I MHC proteins) or from endosomal compartments (class II MHC ...
major histocompatibility complex (MHC). Complex of genes coding for proteins inserted in the cell membrane; the proteins are the basis of self-nonself recognition by the immune system.

One case of this phenomenon occurs at loci at the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) wherein some human alleles are much more closely related to some chimpanzee alleles than they are to other human alleles (Fig. 7).
Success of organ transplants and skin grafts requires a matching of histocompatibility antigens that occur on all cells in the body.
The human leukocyte antigen system (HLA) is the name of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) in humans. The superlocus contains a large number of genes related to immune system function in humans.
