Transplantation Flashcards
What are the different sources of donor organs? What are:
- autografts
- isografts
- allografts
- xenografts
Lecture 3, slide 3
What is the MHC locus? How polymorphic is it?
Lecture 3, slide 5-6
What is the direct pathway of alloantigen presentation? What is the indirect pathway?
Lecture 3, slide 7-8
What are minor histocompatibility antigens? Give some examples.
