    MHC class I is expressed on all cells while MHC class II is only expressed on antigen presenting cells (APCs). MHC class I presents antigens from inside the cell to CD8+ T cells, while MHC class II presents antigens from outside the cell to CD4+ T cells after the antigens are endocytosed and processed by APCs. Together, MHC class I and II play a crucial role in the adaptive immune response by presenting peptide antigens to T cells and activating an immune response against pathogens and cancer cells.
