1.why are both cow and pig insulin recognised as human by human cells
2. suggest why cow insulin eventually leads to a more adverse immune reaction than pig insulin.
3. Antibodies produced eventually lead to the foreign insulin being destroyed by the bodys phagoctic cells. Describe the sequence of events from antibody production in response to the foreign insulin to destruction by the phagocytes?

1. The antigenic surface is more compatible with human cells
2. Pig insulin is closer to human cells external anatomy ie more congruent
3. A chemotactic response occurs when the body finally no longer recognizes the foreign insulin calling in the biochemical pathway that destroys the foreign protein--insulin.

Do you have an essay to do by any chance?!!
Insulin in pigs/cows has similar structure and enzyme build up if i remember correctly. with question two, i think it's something to do with proteins.
As for the third question.........
