Significance of the MHC Significance of the MHC
... In many cases, the ability of an inbred mouse strain to respond to a given antigen will depend on which alleles the strain carries at its MHC loci. The reason is that if an antigen cannot bind to an MHC molecule, it cannot be presented to T cells and therefore an immune response cannot be made to it ...
