Answer:

Histocompatibility antigens are encoded on more than 40 loci, but the loci responsible for the most vigorous allograft rejection reactions are on the major histocompatibility complex (MHC).

Explanation:

Transplantation involves transferring from one site to another of cells, tissues or organs, often among people. An organ transplant (eg, kidney, liver, cardiac, lung, or pancreas) from a donor may rectify organ malfunction.

The immune system remains as a standard medical treatment the greatest barrier to transplantation. An effective and intricate mechanism has been evolved in the immune system to fight off invading invaders. These systems also contribute to the refusal of the transplanted bodies that are recognized by the immune system of the receiver as foreign.

Europa is the smallest of the four Galilean moons of Jupiter. Others are Io, Ganymede, and Callisto. An outer layer of water, about 100 km (62 mi) thick, covered the surface of Europa. A part of the outer layer (crust) is said to be frozen, while the other part is a liquid ocean below the ice.

Venus is the second planet from the Sun and the hottest planet in the solar system. The atmosphere of Venus is dense, and it is composed mainly of carbon dioxide (roughly 96.5 percent), which traps heat and causes a greenhouse effect.
