Summary Introduction
Introduction:
Major histocompatibility complex (MHC) gene is located on chromosome 6 and that code for MHC protein. MHC proteins are classified into two (MHC I and MHC II), these cell surface proteins recognize and bind with antigens from pathogens and present them to immune cells. MHCs regulate adaptive immune response.

Immunology
This 29 year old Lab Tech is suffering from fever, persistent fatigue, and joint pain. He reported that a needle in a plastic garbage bag nicked his finger about 2 months ago. His physical examination was within normal limits.
His laboratory data, however, revealed elevated liver serum enzyme levels and total bilirubin levels. Additional laboratory data included positive HBsAg and positive IgM anti-HBc. His IgM anti-HAV and anti-HCV tests were negative.
1. Does this patient have a form of infectious hepatitis? If so, what type?
2. Can any further tests be done to confirm the diagnosis?
3. What's the patient’s prognosis?
Application: Innate immunity and adaptive immunity
from the following options: COVID-19, Hepatitis B virus, HPV, Measles virus, Cholera, Tetanus Clostridium tetani, or from other vaccine-preventable diseases.
1. What natural defenses do you have against this infection?
