MHC I proteins are found inside most cells, and display exogenous antigens, while MHC II proteins are found on the surface of antigen-presenting cells and display endogenous antigens.
MHC I proteins are found inside all cells and display exogenous antigens, while MHC II proteins are found inside antigen-presenting cells and display endogenous antigens.
