| Comments | The MHC genome region has been divided into three regions: class II (centromeric), class III and class I (telomeric). Classes I & II encode heterodimeric peptide-binding proteins. MHC class III Encodes for other immune components.A set of more than seven genes involved in inflammation, including three members of the tumour necrosis factor (TNF) superfamily, within the class III region is sometimes specified as the class IV region |
