The Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC) is a region of the genome that contains genes that code for a group of cell surface proteins known as Dog leukocyte antigens (DLA). (oldenglishsheepdogclubofamerica.org)
These immune cell surface proteins in themselves help the body by making our DNA less vulnerable to attack by our immune system which may have gone on the attack of foreign particles in our blood, such as dead cells, parasites, viruses, pollens and more. (thepsoriasisprogram.com)
They study how specific cell surface proteins regulate nervous system development, including formation of myelin, the insulating layer around neurons that degenerates in MS. Myelin ensures rapid flow of electrical signals, similar to the plastic coating around a wire and protects neurons from degenerating. (sbpdiscovery.org)
