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

Auto-immune response

B

Humoral immune response

C

Physiological immune response

D

Cell-mediated immune response

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
Cell mediated immune response is responisble for graft rejection. Tissue matching, blood group matching are essential before undertaking any graft/transplant and even after this the patient has to take immuno-suppressants throughout his/her life as body is able to differentiate 'self' from 'non self'.
