MeSH Heading: Graft Enhancement, Immunologic
Tree Number(s): E02.095.465.425.450.440; E05.478.610.500
Unique ID: D006082
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D006082
Scope Note: The induction of prolonged survival and growth of allografts of either tumors or normal tissues which would ordinarily be rejected. It may be induced passively by introducing graft-specific antibodies from previously immunized donors, which bind to the graft's surface antigens, masking them from recognition by T-cells; or actively by prior immunization of the recipient with graft antigens which evoke specific antibodies and form antigen-antibody complexes which bind to the antigen receptor sites of the T-cells and block their cytotoxic activity.
