What Is Transplant Immunology?
Transplantation immunology is a science that studies the theory and practice of the immune response caused by the interaction between the graft and the recipient (also known as the host). It is one of the branches of immunology and has close relations with experimental biology, genetics, surgery and plastic surgery.

- Type of graft
- Use the typing and matching tests to find the most compatible donors; use immunosuppressive measures to prevent and treat rejection; use immunological methods to monitor rejection. The method of detecting early rejection in the host is to observe various changes in body fluid components and cellular immune levels, such as increased lysozyme content, increased serum complement C3, and increased peripheral blood mononuclear cell DNA synthesis rate. High, persistent presence of anti-donor-specific antibodies, increased T cell counts, and enhanced transformation can monitor the precursors of rejection.
