Q

how does rejection happen

A

HLA molecules on surface shed into circulation, APC’s (host or donor) in LN’s present molecule to T cells, stimulates cytokine release, which then go to graft to damage

48
how does combination antirejection therapy work
use combination drugs that work at different points in cell cycle -synergistic effect and can use lower doses overall to minimize toxicity
