Transplanted graft may be rejected due to

  • A.cell-mediated immune response
  • B.humoral immune response
  • C.innate immune response
  • D.passive response

Answer: A

Correct answer: cell-mediated immune response

Acute graft rejection is driven principally by T cells recognising foreign major histocompatibility complex molecules on the graft, and it is T-cell activity that immunosuppressive regimens are designed to blunt. Antibody does contribute, notably in hyperacute rejection where preformed antibody attacks the graft vasculature within minutes, but the cell-mediated response is the main mechanism.
