17. Type 2 hypersensitivity reaction

reaction is a form of immune-mediated reac- tion in which antibodies are directed against cellular
or extracellular matrix antigens. This antibody-mediated response leads to cellular destruction,

19. What happens at a cellular level during organ rejection?
Answer
The ability of recipient T cells to recognize donor-derived antigens, called allorecognition,
initiates allograft rejection. Once recipient T cells become activated, they undergo clonal
expansion, differentiate into effector cells, and migrate into the graft where they promote tissue
destruction.
