MHC protein-antigen complex C015 / 1924
MHC protein-antigen complex. Molecular model of the human class I MHC (major histocompatibility complex) protein HLA-D27 complexed with a peptide antigen. MHC class I molecules are cell surface molecules that are part of the immune system. They are found on every nucleated cell of the body. They present protein fragments (peptides) from within the cell to T-cell immune cells. If foreign proteins are found, for example from a virus that has infected the cell, the T-cells become activated and kill the cell

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate molecular model of a human class I MHC (major histocompatibility complex) protein HLA-D27 complexed with a peptide antigen. The image, set against a clean white background, highlights the complexity and beauty of this crucial component of our immune system. MHC class I molecules are found on every nucleated cell in our body and play a vital role in presenting protein fragments from within the cell to T-cell immune cells. This process is essential for identifying foreign proteins, such as those from viruses that have infected the cell. When T-cells detect these foreign invaders, they become activated and eliminate the infected cell. The artwork expertly captures the structural details of this MHC protein-antigen complex. The precise cutouts allow us to appreciate its three-dimensional nature, while the spacefilled representation provides insight into its biochemical properties. Immunology enthusiasts will be fascinated by this illustration's ability to convey both scientific accuracy and artistic flair. It serves as a reminder of how our immune system works tirelessly to protect us from harmful pathogens. This print is an exceptional addition to any collection exploring immunological research or simply seeking aesthetic appreciation for biochemistry at its finest.
