Chapter 37, Problem 3CT
Summary Introduction
To explain: The lymphocytes which are responsible for the transplant rejection.
Concept introduction: Transplant rejection occurs after the transplanted tissue is rejected by the recipient’s immune system, which destroys the transplanted tissue. It can be lessened by determining the molecular similitude between the donor and the recipient and also by the use of the immunosuppressant drug after the transplantation.

If a person is given a transfusion with the wrong blood type, what mechanism of
action is responsible for the reaction seen in the body?
O 1) IgE binds to mast cells releasing cytokines
2)
Antigen-antibody complexes (IgG, IgM and IgA) lodge in basement
membranes of tissues, neutrophil degranulation damages the tissues
O 3) T cells respond to the inappropriate cells
4)
IgG and IgM bind to cells stimulating complement, triggering cell lysis
What is the role of histamine in inflammation?
A)Histamine increases the volume of blood flow in the area of the infection.
B)All these choices are correct.
C)Histamine signals to neutrophils to migrate to the site of infection.
D)Histamine makes it easier for neutrophils to move from the bloodstream to the site of infection.
The correct order of words to describe how innate
immune response responds to a pathogen that has
gotten by the physical and chemical barriers is:
À) Skin, Saliva, Cytokines, Macrophage
B)Macrophage, Cytokines, Neutrophil, Natural Killer
