Explanation / Answer

Transplantation of organs requires compatibility of MHC proteins as well as blood types.

The proteins differ among individuals by the sequence of their amino acids.

If the proteins differ too greatly rejection of the organ will result.

To prevent this from occurring immunosuppressive drugs can be administered.

These work by inhibiting the production of cytokines by T cells.

The transplantation of animal tissues or organs into humans is called xenotransplantation.

Genetic engineering can remove the potentially incompatible proteins from these animal organs making rejection less likely.
