Difference between Major histocompatibility complex and Thymocyte

Major histocompatibility complex vs. Thymocyte

The major histocompatibility complex (MHC) is a set of cell surface proteins essential for the acquired immune system to recognize foreign molecules in vertebrates, which in turn determines histocompatibility. Thymocytes are hematopoietic progenitor cells present in the thymus.

Similarities between Major histocompatibility complex and Thymocyte

Major histocompatibility complex and Thymocyte have 7 things in common (in Unionpedia): Apoptosis, CD4, CD8, Peptide, T cell, T-cell receptor, Thymus.

Apoptosis

Apoptosis (from Ancient Greek ἀπόπτωσις "falling off") is a process of programmed cell death that occurs in multicellular organisms.

CD4

In molecular biology, CD4 (cluster of differentiation 4) is a glycoprotein found on the surface of immune cells such as T helper cells, monocytes, macrophages, and dendritic cells.

CD8

CD8 (cluster of differentiation 8) is a transmembrane glycoprotein that serves as a co-receptor for the T cell receptor (TCR).

Peptide

Peptides (from Gr.: πεπτός, peptós "digested"; derived from πέσσειν, péssein "to digest") are short chains of amino acid monomers linked by peptide (amide) bonds.

T cell

A T cell, or T lymphocyte, is a type of lymphocyte (a subtype of white blood cell) that plays a central role in cell-mediated immunity.

T-cell receptor

The T-cell receptor, or TCR, is a molecule found on the surface of T cells, or T lymphocytes, that is responsible for recognizing fragments of antigen as peptides bound to major histocompatibility complex (MHC) molecules.

Major histocompatibility complex and Thymocyte Comparison

Major histocompatibility complex has 175 relations, while Thymocyte has 37. As they have in common 7, the Jaccard index is 3.30% = 7 / (175 + 37).
