RECOGNITION SITE MHC CELL IDENTITY MARKERS & AUTO IMMUNE DISEASES by Professor Fink

In this Video Lecture, Professor Fink describes the function of the Recognition Sites (MHC glycoproteins) on the surface of Cell Membranes in allowing WBCs (Immune System) to distinguish between “Self” and “Foreign”. Professor Fink also describe: [1] the challenge of Organ Transplants and Organ Transplant Rejection and [2] Auto-Immune Diseases and how the Immune System may “attack” the person’s own body. Reference is made to Cell Identity Markers, MHC Class 1, MHC Class 2, Red Blood Cells, White Blood Cells, Strep throat, Rheumatic Heart Disease, CMV (cytomegalovirus), beta-cells in Pancreatic Islets, Juveile-Onset (Type 1) Diabetes, immunosuppressant drugs (corticosteroids), and immunocompromise.
