TRANSPLANTATION

IMMUNOLOGY
TRANSPLANTATION

(cells, tissues, or organs)


Graft

Donor Recipient
Term
• Syngeneic graft : graft transplanted
between two genetically identical or
syngeneic individuals
• Allogeneic graft : graft transplanted
between two genetically different
individuals of the same species
• Xenogeneic graft : graft transplanted
between individuals of different species
• Alloantigens : the molecules that are
recognized as foreign on allografts
• Problem  immune response of the
recipient to the donor tissue 
rejection
• Recognition of transplanted cells is
determined by polymorphic genes 
Major histocompatibility complex
(MHC)
• Alloantigens elicit both cell-mediated
and humoral immune responses
T cells recognize allogeneic MHC
Type of graft rejection
Strategy
• General immunosuppression
• Minimizing the strength of the specific
allogeneic reaction
TUMOR IMMUNOLOGY
• Cancer is a major health problem
worldwide
• Cancers arise from the uncontrolled
proliferation and spread of clones of
transformed cells
• Immune system function 
- recognize and destroy clones of
transformed cells before they grow
into tumors
- kill tumors after they are formed
Classification of tumor antigens
• Tumor-specific antigens : antigens that
are expressed on tumor cells but not
on normal cells
• Tumor-associated antigens : tumor
antigens that are also expressed on
normal cells
Induction of T cells responses to
tumors
Mechanisms of tumors
escape
VACCINATION
• Vaccination is the process of
stimulating protective adaptive immune
responses against microbes by
exposure to nonpathogenic forms or
components of the microbes
• Jenner pioneered 200 years ago 
vaccinia (cowpox virus)
• Pasteur  rabies and anthrax
Features of
primary and
secondary
antibody
responses
• Vaccines have two major effects 
- Vaccines protect individuals against
disease
- Herd immunity (if there are sufficient
immune individuals in a population,
transmission of the infection is
prevented)
Type of vaccine
Adjuvant
Immunization Schedule
