Summary Introduction
Introduction: The term “MHC” denotes “Major Histocompatibility Complex” molecule. This molecule is the host protein that presents the “antigen fragment” on the surface of the cell. It is essential for “T cells” to make out the foreign antigen. In the same manner, the “MHC molecules” identify the cells from another person as foreign and attack them. This is called immune rejection. These MHC molecules are identical between identical twins, so there will not be immune rejection if an organ is transplanted between identical twins.

- Suppose you are designing a study to determine whether a vaccine is effective. You recruit volunteers and then assign them into two groups. Which of the following is a better way to determine if the vaccine works in a wide variety of people? (a) Recruit people from a variety of backgrounds: different ethnicities, ages, sexes, etc... and then randomly form two groups. (b) Recruit people for the study who are very similar to one another, such as married nonsmoker female nurses in their forties who don't drink with no health problems and good incomes, then randomly form two groupsarrow_forwardHow does it act as confirmatory evidencearrow_forwardpicture 1 shows the directed migration of two immune cell types, neutrophils (red) and macrophages (green) to a laser-induced injury in the ear of a mouse. As you can observe from the video, there are three stages to this process: 1) an initial phase characterized by fast recruitment of neutrophils (red) to the site of injury followed by 2) the slower recruitment of macrophages after which 3) the interaction between both cell types is stabilized. Recruitment to the injury site is mediated by leukotriene B4 (LTB4), a potent immune signaling molecule (Figure 1A). LTB4 binds to BLT1, a G-protein coupled receptor (GPCR), activating various signaling pathways and resulting in immune cell migration to the site of injury (Figure 1B). With this background information and your knowledge of cell and molecular biology, describe in detail in your own words, as many molecular processes as you can identify that must take place for the cell migration process depicted in the video to be achieved.
