In patients who receive transplants, the recognition protein in the transplanted organ would be different than that of the recipient. What would this mean for the patient?
1.The patient would begin to recognize the new protein as self.
2.The patient’s immune system would attack and reject the new organ, requiring the patient to take immune suppressing medication.
3.The protein of the transplanted organ must be changed to match that of the patient.
4.The proteins on the surface of the cells from the transplanted organ will modify themselves to more closely resemble those of the patient, so the patient’s immune system wouldn’t reject it.
