Abstract
The function of major histocompatibility complex (MHC) molecules remains elusive. Our detailed knowledge of their structural (genetic and biochemical) features contrasts sharply with our essentially speculative ideas concerning their function(s), which furthermore seem at present to be locked into sets of mutually exclusive hypotheses.
