Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
The body's immune system recognizes these proteins and acts to protect self-cells and to destroy non-self-cells. When an organ is transplanted from one person to another, a great effort is made to match as many histocompatibility antigens as possible to reduce the chance that the new body will reject the transplanted organ.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
Anakinra is used to reduce the signs and symptoms of moderately to severely active rheumatoid arthritis in patients 18 years of age and older who have not responded to the traditional antirheumatic drugs. Options A, C, and D are monoclonal antibodies, therefore they are incorrect answers.
