Document Summary

Transplantation antigens: mhc/hla antigens (type i and ii) Expression primarily regulated by ifn : abo blood group antigens. Human leukocyte antigens (hla: alloantigens (hla polymorphisms) Hla-a, b, c, dr have the highest numbers of alleles. Transplantations with mismatches of these alleles cause much higher rates of rejection. T cell recognition of alloantigens: recognition of cdr1/2 with -helices of donor hla, cdr3 recognizes peptides on donor hla many will seem foreign even if they are self. ~5% of t cells are alloreactive: direct recognition. Donor hla presented to t cells by donor apc (all peptides presented will be foreign overenhanced response) Peptides from donor hla presented to t cells by recipient hla. Same as how all adaptive immune responses are initiated. Limited number of peptides derived from donor hla. More of a delayed-type hypersensitivity response by cd4+/cd8+ t cells. Increased mhc-ii, tnf receptors, oxygen radicals, nitric oxide. Requires ifn produced by effector t cells: hyperacute abmr occurs within hours.
