What are class I MHC molecules found on?
All nucleated cells
What are class II molecules found on?
Antigen presenting cells
What is a polymorphic gene?
Different alleles among different individuals

MHCII = DR, DQ, DP
Where are the HLA genes found?
Chromosome 6
What proteins does a slow progressor present?
MHC molecules present key peptides for the survival of the virus (unmutated)
What receptor on the T cell detects the antigen?
The TCR recognizes the antigen presented by the MHC molecule
What is the role of CD3?
Involved in signal transduction
What cells has a CD4 receptor?
T helper cell
What cells has a CD8 receptor?
