Basic Transplantation Immunology
Surgical Clinics of North America, 2006Humans are protected from a daily onslaught of pathogenic organisms by an immune system that provides multiple layers of protection. Until solid organ transplantation became technically feasible in the early twentieth century, this constant state of surveillance for foreign cells that are associated with the immune response mostly was viewed as ...

Advances in transplantation immunology
The Japanese Journal of Surgery, 1987Although there have been dramatic advances in clinical organ transplantation over the past 20 years, rejection, both acute and chronic, and the complications of immunosuppression remain major problems. Nevertheless as our understanding of the immune response to a vascularized organ allograft develops, so too will our ability to develop more specific ...

IMMUNOLOGIC CONSEQUENCES OF TRANSPLANTATION
Chest Surgery Clinics of North America, 1995With current immunosuppressive regimens, rejection is common after lung transplantation. Acute rejection is usually easily reversible with therapy, but chronic rejection often responds poorly and is the leading cause of late morbidity and mortality. Although the pathogenesis of chronic rejection is not fully understood and might be different from ACR ...

In this Issue: Transplant Immunology and Transplant Biology
International Reviews of Immunology, 2014Transplantation faces an unprecedented shortage of organs available for transplantation, resulting in longer waiting times and transplant candidates on the waiting list dying before getting a transplant. This dramatic situation triggered the search for new approaches and innovations to increase the donor pool, such as extending the acceptance criteria ...

The immunological background to transplantation
Journal of Antimicrobial Chemotherapy, 1995Organs are transplanted clinically to rectify an irreversible functional deficit but, unless donor and recipient are genetically identical, graft antigens will trigger a rejection response by the recipient. In the early part of this century, experiments on transplantation of tumours showed that there were strict limitations on the ability of tumour ...

A Review of Transplant Immunology
Critical Care Nursing Clinics of North America, 2011Transplantation has been an accepted treatment for end-stage organ disease for more than 30 years. Advances in transplant immunology are the cornerstone to the success of the body’s ability to accept the allografted organ while continuing to perform immune functions such as tumor surveillance and fighting pathogenic organisms.

Clinical transplantation immunology
1985This chapter explores that immunology has become important in clinical transplantation. The problem with transplantations are not only surgical, but rather, or even primarily, immunological. The recipient of an incompatible transplant reacts immunologically and the transplant is rejected whether it consists of an organ or single cells.

Tissues transferred between genetically nonidentical individuals are destroyed through a process known broadly as rejection. It has been apparent throughout most of medical history that these tissues could provide relief from disease if they were not rejected.

Applications of Transplantation Immunology in the Dog
1979Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the applications of transplantation immunology in the dog. Blood groups can be minor histocompatibility systems because they can influence the survival of blood cells after transplantation/transfusion. Specific immunosuppression is subdivided into enhancement and tolerance.
