*Most polymorphisms are point mutations
*Most polymorphisms are point mutations
* There are millions of variations in antibodies and TCR
* There are millions of variations in [[Immunoglobulins - WikiBlood|antibodies]] and TCR
** However, with MHC there is very limited variation between molecules

*Allelic variation within the MHC molecule occurs at the peptide binding site and on the top or sides of the binding cleft
