Abstract: Major host-compatibility complex of dairy cattle was also called Bovine Leucocyte Antigen. It is concerned with repulsion response of transplantation and widely involved in adjusting and responsing of immunological response. Recent progress on MHC including its characteristics of chemical structure, function and of gene were summarized in this paper. The distinct immunological function of MHC and related issue concerned with its applicating on MAS of dairy cattle were especially introduced. At last, the future of MHC applied in animal disease-resistance breeding was discussed in this review.
