Question

Grafted kidney may be rejected in a patient due to:

Options

• Humeral immune response

• Cell-mediated immune response

• Passive immune response

• Innate immune response

Answer 1

Cell-mediated immune response

Explanation:

A patient's grafted kidney may be rejected due to a cell-mediated immunological response mediated by T-lymphocytes. Because the body can distinguish between "self" and "non-self," tissue matching and blood group matching are required before performing any graft/transplant.
