Abstract excerpt
Organ graft rejection is caused by the recognition of allogeneic MHC molecules by recipient T cells by two different pathways. The indirect pathway of alloreactivity requires the presentation of MHC peptides from the graft by autologous APC, as with conventional antigen. The direct pathway, on th...
