- Organ Transplants Must Be Immunologically A burn victim receives a skin graft from her brother; however, her body rejects the graft a few weeks later. The procedure is attempted again, but this time the graft is rejected in a few days. Explain why the graft was rejected the first time and why it was rejected more rapidly the second time.Research on HIV vaccines is progressing, but success to date has been limited to vaccines that are of limited effectiveness against a few strains of the HIV virus. However, flu vaccines are similar in their limitations. Why are ‘limited effectiveness flu vaccines released, but not HIV vaccines?. Based on your research on HIV and HCV ,discuss whether you think that a vaccine will be developed for either of these diseases within the next ten years

HIV-2 b. SIV c. poliovirus d. HIV-1How do vaccines work in the body? How do they utilize adaptive immune response? Also, kindly give an example (i.e., COVID vaccines).
- Research on HIV vaccines is progressing, but success to date has been limited to vaccines that are of limited effectiveness against a few strains of the HIV virus. However, flu vaccines are similar in their limitations. Why are ‘limited effectiveness flu vaccines released, but not HIV vaccines?
