Do neurons have the Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC)?
Posted August 26, 2024
Answer
No, neurons do not have the Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC).
Major Histocompatibility Complex is a cell cluster that is found on the surface of nucleated cells. Neurons, which are cells of the nervous system, are anucleated, and as such they do not have the MHC.
