Abstract

The article offers information on the importance of immunosuppression to prevention rejection of allografts after organ transplantation. Topics include the alloimmune responses of human leukocyte antigen molecules in rejection and graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), the negative effect of cytokines and chemokine during transplantation due to intensified tissue injury they develops, and the discovery of preimplantation factor (PIF) as a immunomodulating and immunosuppressive peptide.
