HLAs are responsible for immune-mediated organ transplant rejection.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

HLAs (Human Leukocyte Antigens) are important markers on the surface of cells that help the immune system distinguish between self and non-self. They are involved in immune-mediated organ transplant rejection, as the recipient's immune system recognizes the transplanted organ as non-self if the HLAs are not compatible. This recognition can trigger an immune response that leads to organ rejection.
