Word/Terms List Allograft Autograft GVH HLA Isograft MHC Xenograft
Transplantation Immunology Types of transplants Autograft Isograft Allograft Xenograft
Graft Rejection First set Second set Analogous to primary and secondary antibody response
Causes of Rejection MHC – HLA antigens in humans Haplotypes DTH reaction Cell-mediated immunity
Stages of Rejection Sensitization- APCs from donor APCs from host “Passenger leukocytes” CD8 and CD4 both react
Stages of Rejection Effector stage C mediated Ab response ADCC CTLs DTH
Compatibility Tests ABO Microcytotoxicity Mixed lymphocyte reaction Pre existing Ab C mediated Mixed lymphocyte reaction Measures T helper activation Uses radioactive thymidine as determinant
Clinical Types of Rejection Hyperacute <24 hours Preexisting Ab ABO mismatch Acute Weeks Macrophages Cytokines Chronic Months or longer Humoral and cell-mediated
General Immunosupression Mitotic Inhibitors Affects all rapidly dividing cells Steroids Anti inflammatory Cytokine inhibitors Inhibits T cell proliferation
Specific Immunosupression Monoclonal Ab Anti CD3 Blocking co stimulation CTLA injection
Immune Tolerance Non immunogenic tissue Privileged sites Induced tolerance
