How does tissue damage occur in acute rejection after an organ transplant?
A) Helper T cells (Th1) release cytokines that activate infiltrating macrophages and cytotoxic T cells directly attack the endothelial cells of the transplanted tissue.
B) Circulating immune complexes are deposited in the endothelial cells of transplanted tissue where the complement cascade lyses tissue.
