Question

Transplantation of tissues/organs fails after due to non-acceptance by the patient's body which type of immune response is responsible for such rejections?

Options

• Autoimmune response

• Cell-mediated immune response

• Hormonal immune response

• Physiological immune response

Answer 1

Cell-mediated immune response

Explanation:

Tissue/organ transplantation may fail if the tissue is rejected by the recipient's immune system, resulting in its destruction. The rejection of usage is a result of a cell-mediated immune response involving T-cells. These cells can tell the difference between self and non-self.
