The H2 complex contains 3 major classes of highly polymorphic gene sets: class I (H2-K, H2-D, H2-Q, H2-T18 genes), class II (H2-I genes), and class III (H2-S genes). These genes are involved in many processes, including graft rejection, immune response, antigen presentation and complement component.
