A kidney transplant is an allogeneic transplant. Since no two people, except identical twins, have the same HLA alleles or MHC proteins, the person will need immunosuppressive drugs, such as cyclosporine, throughout their life.The cell-mediated immune response, or T cell-mediated immunity, is responsible for graft rejection, not B cells. Hence, option 4 is correct.
