Chapter 20, Problem 3CCS
Summary Introduction
To review:
The difference between class 1 and class 2 MHC proteins.
Introduction:
The major histocompatibility complex, or MHC, is a set of surface proteins that are the main part of the acquired immune system. This protein binds to antigens and presents them to T cells. This protein complex plays a major role in determining the compatibility between the donor and the recipient during an organ transplant. Histocompatibility tests are essential prior to an organ donation to prevent organ rejection.

Marjory’s doctor prescribed Lodine, an anti-inflammatory, for her postoperative pain. Her nurse read the doctor’s order incorrectly, mistaking the “L” for an “I.” Instead of Lodine, she used Betadine, an iodine solution, to cleanse the wound. Marjory is allergic to iodine. What was the cause of this medication error?
Your friend and you go to Central America for spring break where you have a great time (from what you can remember) except that you both get bitten by mosquitos constantly. Your poor friend comes down with malaria, has to take chloroquine, and is ill for weeks. You experience no health problems at all. You tell your friend, “Sickle-cell anemia runs in my family. That’s probably why I didn’t get malaria, too.” Your friend is not a super smart scientist like you so is utterly confused at your remark. Explain to him what you mean.
