Individuals who are not identical twins differ in many genes that they do not inherit. This means
individuals will have different proteins based on these different genes. These differences are
called ______________________ Answer-polymorphisms
In transplantation, if one person is a donor and another is a recipient, then there might be a
difference in proteins between each person. So, when an organ is transplanted, the recipient's
immune system can detect the transplanted cells as non-self and lead an attack against them.
This attack involves ________________ and ____ cells and is called an ___________________
________________ _______________ Answer-antibodies
T cells
allogeneic immune response

The recipient's T cells and antibodies that enter the implanted organ after transplantation cause
inflammation in the organ as if the organ is a foreign invader, like a microbe. This leads to
injury/death of the implanted organ. This is called _________________ _______________
Answer-transplant rejection
The most polymorphic genes in our entire genome are the _____________________

If you want to transfuse blood across individuals, then the antibodies can cause trouble. For
example, if type A is transfused into someone with type B, then the recipient with type B (who
has antibodies against type A) will cause the destruction of type A blood either by
___________________ activation or _________________. This is called a
____________________ ________________ Answer-complement
phagocytosis
transfusion reaction
