Acute transplant rejection is characterized by the involvement of which cells?

  1. Red blood cells

  2. Platelets

  3. T-cell (cellular) or B-cell (humoral, antibody)

  4. Epithelial cells

The correct answer is: T-cell (cellular) or B-cell (humoral, antibody)

Acute transplant rejection is mainly characterized by the involvement of T-cells (cellular rejection) or B-cells (humoral, antibody response). These cells play a significant role in recognizing the transplanted organ as foreign and mounting an immune response against it. Red blood cells, platelets, and epithelial cells do not play a primary role in acute transplant rejection.
