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

[@FabianeAthayde]

Immunology exam today and I learned so much from you! Thank you, Professor Fink. Life long and prosper to you.

Professor Fink, Thank you again for your amazing and well-taught lectures. You will never know just how many students you are helping to actually UNDERSTAND the concept of the subjects of A&P. Please keep doing what you are doing. You are loved and highly respected throughout the world!

[@professorfink]

Thank you for your kind words. My sincere Best Wishes for your Success!

Thank you. Will you be covering the Immune System is future lectures?

[@starlit7094]

This man deserves way more recognition for his teaching ability. Truly the best

thank you so much for this video, I realized when revising for my exams I didn't understand the gap between MHC on self cells and then how the autoimmune disease develops, your lecture was so clear and I now completely understand how these infections can trigger them. Thank you so much :)

Thank you, Professor Fink!

Excellent explanation since the autoimmune disease its base on fight-fight or immune system disorder. you do think causes would be foods etc with respect to diagnosis system, allergy, kawasaki disease

[@alexfinck7107]

It is just a pity that physiology sticks sticks to old stuff in the wake of e.g. microbiome research in order to explain auto-immunity; just plain counterproductive

[@professorfink]

Alex, you correctly point-out that there is a complex interaction between the bacteria of the gut & our immune system. HOWEVER, exactly what that interaction is, is still not clearly understood. Also, it has not been established if this connection applies to all auto-immune diseases or only certain ones. Keep reading the scientific journals to keep current.

Dr Fink, what is the difference between glycoproteins and antigens?

[@professorfink]

Anything that an Antibody can attach to is called an Antigen. Many -- but not all antigens -- are chemically glycoproteins (proteins with sugars attached). So glycoproteins are a subset of antigens.

[@SharpSapphire]

@@professorfink Thanks for clearing that up because I’ve been scratching my head on this one & needless to say, I was utterly confused. Websites weren’t exact either. So your explanation really brought some much-needed clarity. Thanks a ton for simplifying it!
