Summary Introduction

Introduction:

Grafting is the process of transferring of tissues and organs from one body part to other within the same organism or in between immunologically related person. A rejection of grafted tissue is seen in distantly related individuals, as the body recognizes it as a foreign body due to dissimilarity in the surface proteins of the recipient and the donor.

Different MHC I molecules between donor and recipient cells can lead to rejection of a transplanted organ or tissue. Explain relevant concepts in relation to tissue rejection in organ transplant.
There is a variety of organs routinely transplanted in clinical  medicine. Knowing that organ transplantation is routinely performed in clinic answer the following: What is a significance of HLA-typing used to match with the most suitable recipient?  What has been achieved by using powerful immunosuppressive drugs?
