...my brief response to the initial post would be to remember that MHC class I
molecules are NOT restricted in their expression to professional APC's such as
dendritic cells, macrophages, and B-cells (as is the case with class II
molecules): class I molecules are typically expressed upon all nucleated cells
(the only cells in the body devoid of class I are red blood cells and sperm).
