Question

Which type of immune response is responsible for the rejection of tissues/organs in the patient’s body post transplantation?
a.)auto-immune response
b.)humoral immune response
c.)physiological immune response
d.)cell-mediated immune response

Answer 1

Lung biopsy. H&E stain. Transplant rejection occurs when transplanted tissue is rejected by the recipient's immune system, which destroys the transplanted tissue.

Answer 2

Answer:

Humoral immune response is responsible for rejection of tissues/organs in the patient’s body post transplantation

Option B

Explanation:

A humoral immune response is defined as the type of immune response characterized by the production of antibodies against foreign antigens by the B lymphocytes.

To prevent graft rejection due to this cause, the HLA antigen matching is done prior to the grafting. It is a type of antigen of the MHC Class I antigen group. This antigen is most of the time responsible for the rejection of grafts.
