Introduction:
Transplantation is a therapeutic technique by which the damaged or diseased cells, tissues, or organs are replaced with the new functioning one either from the same or from a different individual. The major problem faced by this technique is the rejection mechanism showed by the individual’s immune system due to the presence of a class of self-antigens called the major histocompatibility complex (MHC).
