Rejection stimulating transplantation antigens fall into these two categories...
– Major transplantation antigens

HLA?
Human Leukocyte Antigens
The general class of *** genes of the human MHC complex play a large role in graft rejection. These include *these* six genes involved in rejection...
HLA
HLA-A/B/C/DP/DQ/DR
The immunogenicity of foreign MHC antigens are due to the highly *** *** of MHC DNA ***.
polymorphic nature
loci
Graft Rejection:
Class I MHC antigens stimulate...
1) ***
2) ***
1) strong antibody response
2) CD8 Tc cells RESPONSE
Graft Rejection:
Class II MHC antigens stimulate...
1) ***
2) ***
2) antibody response
2) CD4 T cells INTO "effector Th" cells
Graft Rejection:
Th help in...
1) ***
2) ***
3) ***
1) generation of antibody MHC
2) generations of CD8 cytotoxic T cells
3) development of DTH reactions(T DTH)
Anti-graft antibodies:
MHC II stimulates "*** cells" which differentiate into "*** cells" generating anti-graft antibodies.
B-cells
Plasma Cells
Graft donor & recipient can have 'other non-MHC *** proteins.' MHC is *** polymorphic while these others are *** polymorphic.
antigenic
more
less
Compared to MHC, 'non-MHC antigenic proteins' numbering *** than *#* do/do not stimulate as strong of a rejection. They are recognized by recipient’s ***-cells in association with ***.
greater than 70
do not
T
self-MHC
During rejection: In addition to generation of antibodies against major antigens... the body also generates antibodies against ***.
minor antigens
Any *** protein can be a potential minor transplantation antigen.
polymorphic
Internal protein "TA" can be presented by *** to stimulate *** *** cells.
class I MHC
CD8 T
TA proteins taken up by dendritic cells can be processed & presented on *** to stimulate *** cells... which then go on to provide help to *** & *** *** cell response.
class II MHC
CD4 T
antibody and CD8 T
TA proteins taken up by *** cells can be processed & presented on class II MHC to stimulate CD4 T cells which help antibody and CD8 T cell response.

Acute rejection
Chronic rejection
*** type rejection occurs when pre-existing antibody binds to antigens resulting in...
1) ***
2) ***
hyperacute rejection

1) complement fixation
2) activation of clotting pathways
*** type rejection is equivalent to the primary immune response. Many effector mechanisms can be generated such as ***(noun), ***(noun), and ***(type) responses...
acute rejection

antibody, Tc cells, and DTH responses
*** type rejection occurs after more than ***(time) from initial time of grafting. The *** of the ***(anatomy) can *** eventually stopping nutrition and ***.
Chronic rejection

Preventing Graft Rejection:
Cross-matching tests recipient for ***.

Preventing Graft Rejection:
Cross matching involves taking *** from recip. & adding *** from the donor w/some ***.

Preventing Graft Rejection:
During cross-matching, if recipient has antibody to host it will *** and *** complement causing *** of the cells.
