✦ Synopsis

Recent evidence indicates that genes required for antigen processing are present in the class II region of the MHC. Two new classes of MHC genes that may encode much of the machinery required in the class I (endogenous) antigen-processing pathway have been discovered. There is evidence that genes required in the class II pathway also reside in this region.
