major histocompatibility antigen — A set of plasmalemmal glycoprotein antigens involved in rapid (eg. 7 days in the mouse) graft rejection and other immune phenomena. The minor histocompatibility antigens are involved in much slower rejection phenomena. The major antigens show… … Dictionary of molecular biology
