A. How many HLA-DR α:β combinations can be made by an individual who is heterozygous at all HLA-DRβ loci, inherits the DRβ haplotype DRB1 from their mother, the DRβ haplotype DRB1, DRB4 from their father, and also inherits different allelic forms of DRA from each parent?
B. Repeat this exercise given the same information except that the maternal DRβ haplotype is DRB1, DRB3.

A.What is the maximum number of MHC class I and class II molecules that a heterozygous individual could theoretically express? Explain your answer.(Ignore the possibility of MHC class II molecules composed of chains from different isotypes.)
B.How does this relatively small number of MHC molecules have the potential to bind the huge number of antigenic peptides encountered in the environment,and what features of a peptide determine whether it will be bound by a given MHC molecule?
