Transplantation Immunology

Transplantation immunology examines immune responses to transplanted organs, tissues, or cells, focusing on understanding rejection mechanisms and promoting graft acceptance. It investigates histocompatibility (HLA) matching between donor and recipient to minimize immune recognition and rejection. Research in transplantation immunology explores immunosuppressive therapies, tolerance induction strategies, and biomarkers to predict graft outcomes and improve long-term transplant success rates. Advances in transplantation immunology have expanded donor options, enhanced transplant outcomes, and improved quality of life for recipients of solid organ, tissue, and hematopoietic stem cell transplants.
