Transplantation of tissues/organs to save certain patients often fails due to the 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

Answers (1)

The answer is the option (d) cell-mediated immune response

Rejection of transplanted tissues or organs occurs due to the cell-mediated immune response, orchestrated by T lymphocytes (T cells).

  • Auto-immune response: This pertains to the immune system erroneously attacking the body's tissues, a phenomenon unrelated to transplantation.
  • b. Humoral immune response: While involving B lymphocytes and antibody production, it plays a secondary role in organ rejection compared to the decisive action of T cells.
  • c. Physiological immune response: This is a general term lacking specificity and has no direct connection to the immune mechanisms behind transplant rejection.
