Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The fact that the patient has not had any type of infection for at least 30 years suggests that their immune system is intact and functioning properly, including their Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC) receptors, which play an important role in recognizing and presenting foreign antigens to immune cells. The other options (A, C, and D) are not necessarily related to the patient's immune system in this context.
