Grafted kidney may be rejected in a patient due to:
Cell-mediated immune response
Passive immune response
Innate immune response
Humoral immune response
As we learnt
Transplantation -
Very often, when some human organs like heart, eye, liver, kidney fail to function satisfactorily, transplantation is the only remedy to enable the patient to live a normal life
- wherein
For this a suitable donor is required. Grafts from just any source – an animal, another primate, or any human beings cannot be made since the grafts would be rejected sooner or later. Tissue matching, blood group matching are essential before undertaking any graft/transplant and even after this the patient has to take immuno–suppresants all his/her life. The body is able to differentiate ‘self ’ and ‘nonself’ and the cell-mediated immune response is responsible for the graft rejection
Grafted kidney may be rejected in a patient due to the cell-mediated immune response that is mediated by T-lymphocytes.
Option 1)
Cell-mediated immune response
This is the correct
Option 2)
Passive immune response
This is the incorrect
Option 3)
Innate immune response
This is the incorrect
Option 4)
Humoral immune response
This is the incorrect
