Transplantation of tissues/organs to sav...

Transplantation of tissues/organs to save certain patients often fails due to rejection of such tissues/organs by the patient. Which type of immune response is responsible for such rejections

A

Autoimmune response

B

Cell-mediated immune response

C

Hormonal immune response

D

Physiological immune response

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Transplantation of tissue/organs may fail, when that tissue is rejected by the recipient's immune system leading to its destruction. Tissue rejection is a function of cell-mediated immune response that involves T-cells. These cells have the ability to distinguish between self and non-self. After the recognition of non-self tissue, the killer T-cells induces apoptosis of the target tissue.
