NOMENCLATURE: HLA specificities are identified by a letter for locus and a number (A1, B5, etc.), and the haplotypes are identified by individual specificities (e.g., A1, B7, Cw4, DP5, DQ10, DR8). Spe The MHC complex resides in the short arm of chromosome 6 and overall size of the MHC is approximately 3.5 million base pairs.
