Question

One function of the immune system is to attack the foreign cells to protect the body. In organ transplants, how does the immune system usually reacts with the transplanted organ?

Answer 1

Explanation:The immune system of a transplant recipient recognizes this as a foreign agent and activates its defense mechanism against it. This starts to slowly destroy the organ. to help prevent this, doctors usually give you immunosuppressant (anti-rejection) drugs. These drugs help prevent your immune system from attacking ("rejecting") the donor organ. Typically, they must be taken for the lifetime of your transplanted organ.

Answer 2

The immune system of a transplant recipient recognizes this as a foreign agent and activates its defense mechanism against it. The antigens present in the transplanted organ are detected by the recipient organism, as different or not compatible, which will cause a reaction or rejection, activating an immune response. These rejections can be acute or chronic depending on how strange or compatible the transplant is for the recipient.
