The number of MHC protein combinations possible in a given population is enormous. However, an individual in that population has only a couple of MHC possibilities. Why?

#Unit 4. Cell Communication and Cell Signaling

  1. The MHC proteins are made from several different gene regions that are capable of rearranging in a number of ways.

  2. MHC proteins from one individual can only be of class I or class II.

  3. Each of the MHC genes has a large number of alleles, but each individual only inherits 2 for each gene.

  4. Once a B cell has matured in the bone marrow, it is limited to two MHC response categories.

The control of gastric acid secretion in response to a meal involves several events that take place over a 4- or 5-hr period following the meal. These events include
(1) a decrease in the pH of the gastric contents,
(2) an increase in the rate of acid secretion,
(3) a decrease in the rate of acid secretion, and
(4) an increase in the pH of the gastric contents. Which of the following best describes
the correct temporal order of events over a 4- or 5-hr period following a meal?
