Introduction: Tissue transplant rejection is one of the main challenges faced in organ transplantation. Tissue transplant or graft rejection is a process in which the immune system of the recipient rejects and attacks the transplanted organ or tissues. The rejection happens because of the recognition of transplanted organ as foreign (identified as non-self by recipient’s immune system) due to the presence of varied antigens (HLA antigens) in the cell surface of transplant.
