Expert Solution

all cells that contains nucleus display MHC I on their surface. and the cells including Macrophages, dendritic cells, CD4 T cells and B cells contain both MHC II and MHC I.

(a) similarity in both is that they both present antigens on them

(b) difference : MHC I present self antigen and MHC II present non-self antigen

real time reverse transcriptase PCR method is used to detect COVID-19. The specific gene of COVID-19 is being detected.

As COVID-19 is RNA virus, reverse transcriptase PCR is used. After addition of specific primers for a specific gene of COVID-19, there would be amplification of that gene in PCR which suggest the test positive.
