Which of the following reasons in mainly responsible for graft rejection in transplantation of organs?
  1. Inability of recipient to differentiate between 'self and 'non-self' tissues/cells
  2. Humoral immune response only
  3. Auto-immune response
  4. Cell-mediated response

Solution

During organ transplantation, the graft rejection takes place due to cell mediated response, in which T-cell controls the identification of Self from Non-self. This rejection can be prevented by Immuno-suppressive agent i.e., Cyclosporin-A.
