The major histocompatibility complex (MHC) is a cluster of genes that are important in the immune response to infections. In horses, this complex is referred to as the equine leukocyte antigen (ELA) region. MCA1086 recognises monomorphic equine MHC Class I and was classified at the International Equine Leucocyte Antigen Workshop. MHC class I is expressed by all nucleated cells.
