MHC research: fast forward.
Study of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) has rarely been more exciting or fruitful than at present. New HLA genes are regularly being discovered, and the elucidation of molecular structure and antigen presentation at the molecular level continues apace. These, and the emerging contribution of MHC analysis to molecular anthropology and to the study of evolution, were addressed at a recent workshop.
