MHC II: microcytotoxicity, MHCI: Mixed B lymphocyte assay (?: not sure ,just guessing)

  #3

look at the mnemonic again!!

m1crocytotox1c1ty is full of ones--hence it tests for HLA class 1
the other one is the other one
Mixed Lymphocyte assay uses B cells as the stimulator...b=2nd letter

the rule of 8s:

1 x 8 = 8
2 x 4 = 8

1 & 2 are MHCs,
4 & 8 are CDs.

cytotoxicity - CD8 T cells,
B lymphocyte activation - CD4 T h2 cells.

OK, let's make it more difficult - which MCH (1 or 2) contains β2-microglobulin and how to remember this?

yes, MHC-1 has only 1 own leg (1 and 1) and it needs β2-microglobulin as a prosthesis.grin
see attachment to imagine it.

now, what's the name of the disease when we have the deposition of β2-microglobulin?

1. this amyloid is seen in a cancer
2. this amyloid is derived from pre-albumin

Another correlation:
Tranthyretin decreased in actue inflammation ( Negative acute phase proteins)
Amyloid -P Increased in acte inflamm, (Positive acute phase proteins)
