Some autoimmune diseases show a positive correlation with dramatically decreased expression of histone deacetylase (HDAC9, an en

zyme that removes acetyl groups from histones). Why would the decreased expression of HDAC9 cause immune cells to produce inflammatory genes at inappropriate times?

Answer:

The positive charge of the histone proteins get reduced due to the process of histone acetylation, thus making the wrapping of DNA around the histones less tightened. The loose connected DNA afterward associates with the transcription factors for the articulation of the genes situated in that area.  

Generally, when there is no requirement of gene anymore, the acetyl groups from the histones get withdrawn by the activity of histone deacetylase enzyme (HDAC9) that makes the DNA tightly wrapped and inaccessible again. In case, when less expression of histone deacetylase enzyme occurs, the process of deacetylation fails to take place. This indicates that within an immune cell, at the time of infection, the inflammatory gene, which was made available does not get re-wrapped firmly around the histones.

Which blood type can be transfused into a patient who has blood type A–?
Oksana_A [137]

For a person with blood type A- (A negative),  they can be transfused with either  blood type A negative  , or blood type O negative.

This is because any other blood type will immediately be rejected by their body.

A person with blood type A negative has got antibodies against any other blood type which has a rhesus positive factor as well as antibodies against  any other blood type of a different group such as B and AB, even if they are  rhesus negative.

Therefore because of the rhesus negative factor, a person with blood type A negative  can only be transfused with rhesus negative .
