… Rejection Transplantation Biology:
Kidney rejection:
Allograft rejection: specificity and memmory.
Adoptive transfer of skin allograft rejection.
MHC-matching: microcytotoxicity assay
Microcytotoxicity test.
Mixed Lymphocyte Reaction.
Luminex Cross-matching Assay: Checks for the presence of pre-existing anti-HLA antibodies in recipient serum to assess the risk of hyperacute rejection.
Organ Rejection: 1.Hyperacute (immediate) : hours Pre-existing antibodies. 2.Acute: (weeks) Cell-mediated – MHC-mismatch. 3.Chronic (months, years) minor histocompatibility antigens.
Transplantation of blood: blood transfusion.
Hyperacute rejection of kidney graft.
Allo-antibodies and chronic rejection.
