HS 1 antibody or cell mediated? what antibody?
antibody IgE
HS 2 and HS 3 antibody or cell mediated? what antibody?
antibody IgG and IgM
HS 4 antibody or cell mediated? what antibody?
cell mediated, T cell driven
Act of transferring cells tissues or organs (GRAFT) from one individual (DONOR) to another (Recipient)
Transplant
Self tissue transferred from one body site to another in the same individual
Autografts
Tissue transferred between genetically identical individuals
Isograft
Tissue transferred between genetically different members of the same species.
Allograft
Tissue transferred between different species
Xenograft
Host vs Graft disease
Transplanted tissue is rejected by host
Graft vs host disease
Immunocompromised (IMPORTANT)
-Host is attacked by tranplanted T-cells
Every nucleated cell has ____.
HLA is on short arm of Chromosome 6
Not all HLA are equal in HLA rejection…. what are the 3?
HLA-A, HLA-B and
HLA-DR=MOST IMPORTANT
HLA-A HLA-B are what MHC?

Cornea does not express _________.
HLA/MHC
What happens in a graft acceptance AutoGraft?
Chunk of tissue dropped into skin
Wait 7 days, vessels have reconnected and healing
2 weeks= total resolution, vascularization, lymphocytes and white blood cells don’t recognize anything foreign… Neutrophils come in and clean it up
______ are critical in transplant rejection.
T-cells
What happens in graft rejection?
Day 3-7 REvascularization
Day 7-10 Cellular infiltration
Day 10-14 Thrombosis and necrosis
Damaged vascularization and reject necrotic tissue
Why are we worried on first graft?
If rejected on first graft, likely to not accept on second graft.
_________ play central role in rejection, but cLassical cause of rejection is ________
Thymus (T-cells)
Lymphocytes
