Transplant rejection

Graft rejection; Tissue/organ rejection

Transplant rejection is a process in which a transplant recipient's immune system attacks the transplanted organ or tissue.

Antibodies

Antigens are large molecules (usually proteins) on the surface of cells, viruses, fungi, bacteria, and some non-living substances such as toxins, chemicals, drugs, and foreign particles. The immune system recognizes antigens and produces antibodies that destroy substances containing antigens.
