with the number of identical HLA antigens. Graft rejection occurs when the immune cells (T-lymphocytes) of the recipient recognize specific HLA antigens on the donor’s organ as foreign. The T-lymphocytes initiate a cellular immune response that result in graft rejection. Alternatively‚ T-lymphocytes present in the grafted tissue may recognize the host tissues as foreign and produce a cell-mediated immune response against the recipient.

However‚ twentyfive to 35% of patients

Adaptive (specific) defense system The immune system is a functional system rather than structural; there are no specific immune system organs Pathogen: a disease-causing agent; anything foreign in our body that causes disease Three lines of defense: 1st: external barriers 2nd: several non-specific defense mechanisms 3rd: immunity‚ specific resistance to disease
