The Major immunogene complex (MIC) is a gene sequence containing loci coding for antigens on lymphocyte surface (Ia) histocompatibility (H) antigens, products of immune responses, and components system proteins. [1]
The genes that code for immunoglobulins are assorted independently of the MIC, but the plasma cells which produce immunoglobulins are under the control of products of the MIC. [2] [3]
