Autologous (autograft): from one individual to the same individual

Syngenic: between two genetically identical or syngeneic individuals

Allogenic (allograft): between two genetically different individuals of the same species

Xenogenic (xenograft): between two genetically different individuals of different species

Grafts

Genetics of graft rejection

Rejection is causedby MHC antigens

Page 4: Transplantation Immunology - uniroma2.it · Direct alloantigen recognition Positive selection in the thymus allows all T lymphocytes that recognize MHC molecules to survive. Negative

First-set and second-set rejection

Rejection is mediatedby lymphocytes

AB

Rejection of skin grafts

Direct and indirect presentation of MHC alloantigens

Direct alloantigen recognition

Positive selection in the thymus allows all T lymphocytesthat recognize MHC molecules to survive.Negative selection eliminates T lymphocytes with strongaffinity for self-MHC molecules, but T lymhocytes withstrong affinity for non-self (allo) MHC molecules survive

High frequency of allo-reactive T lymphocytes (~2%)

Each allogenic cell can activate many T lymphocyte clones

Density of alloantigens is higher than self-MHC/antigens

Mixed leucocyte reaction

Hyperacute and acute rejection

Page 10: Transplantation Immunology - uniroma2.it · Direct alloantigen recognition Positive selection in the thymus allows all T lymphocytes that recognize MHC molecules to survive. Negative

Chronic rejection

Page 11: Transplantation Immunology - uniroma2.it · Direct alloantigen recognition Positive selection in the thymus allows all T lymphocytes that recognize MHC molecules to survive. Negative

Minor Histocompatibility Antigens (H)

Graft-versus-host-disease (GVDH)

Caused by the donor T lymphocytes after bone-marrow transplantation,but also after transplantation of organs that contain T lymphocytes

Acute GVHD: skin, liver, gastrointestinal tract (rash, jaundice, diarrhea)

Chronic GVDH: organ fibrosis and dysfunction
