title: Presence of receptors for self MHC antigens on non-T cells.
abstract: It is generally accepted that the major hislocompatibility complex (MHC) plays a key role in the recognition of foreign antigens by T lymphocytes. However, recent studies indicate that a range of non-T cells can also recognize sell MHCstructures. This review discusses these recent findings and suggests that the MHC plays a fundamental role in cell-cell communication and differentialion of both lymphoid and non-lymphoid cells.
