8. Men who receive transplanted kidneys from women are more likely to lose or reject them than they would
organs from other men. Physician Martin Zeier of the University of Heidelberg uncovered this pattern by
scouring a giant database called the Collaborative Transplant Study, which collects records of organ donation
from patients in 49 countries. After analyzing records of nearly 167,000 kidney, heart, and liver transplants, he
found that men had a 22 percent higher risk of rejecting or losing a donated kidney from a woman than one
from a man within one year of transplant. Men were also 13 percent more likely to lose a woman’s heart. No
parallel effect was seen in women who received kidney or heart transplants from men. This pattern hints at a fundamental, still-unknown difference between the immune systems of men and
women. The presence or absence of estrogen, or a gender-related difference in the distribution of chemical
receptors on the surface of cells, might influence immune reactions that can lead to organ acceptance or
rejection. Nonetheless, Zeier would never advise a man to turn down a female kidney, especially since rejection
can often be reversed with the proper drug regimen. And there are other factors—the age and health of the
donor, for example—that are much more important than the gender difference.
【題組】38 Which of the following is NOT true about the Collaborative Transplant Study?

(C) His body is more likely to reject it than when a woman receives a heart from a man.
(D) He has the same chance of success as when he receives one from another man.
10.【題組】40 Why would Zeier not advise a man to turn down a donation from a woman?
(A) Other factors might be more important than gender differences.
(B) The immune systems of males and females are not as different as often assumed.
(C) Different kinds of organs may have different success rates.
