| transplant lung syndrome | <syndrome> A syndrome associated with fever and diffuse bilateral pulmonary infiltration mainly at the base or at the hilum of the lung; can accompany rejection of an organ (kidney) transplant or follow a reduction in dosage of an immunosuppressive drug. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| transplantar | Across the sole of the foot; denoting certain muscular fibres or ligamentous structures. (05 Mar 2000) |
| transplantation | <surgery> The grafting of tissues taken from the patients own body or from another. Origin: L. Plantare = to plant (18 Nov 1997) |
| transplantation antigen | <immunology> Any antigen that is antigenically active in graft rejection. In practice the major histocompatibility complex and the H Y antigens and to a lesser extent minor histocompatibility antigens. (18 Nov 1997) |
| transplantation chimera | An organism that, as a result of transplantation of donor genetic material, consists of two or more cell lines descended from at least two zygotes. This state results in the induction of donor-specific transplantation tolerance. (12 Dec 1998) |
| transplantation conditioning | Preparative treatment of transplant recipient with various conditioning regimens including radiation, immune sera, chemotherapy, and/or immunosuppressive agents, prior to transplantation. Transplantation conditioning is very common before bone marrow transplantation. (12 Dec 1998) |
| transplantation genetics | Genetics as applied to the transplanting of tissues from one animal to another. (05 Mar 2000) |
| transplantation immunology | A general term for the complex phenomena involved in allo- and xenograft rejection by a host and graft vs host reaction. Although the reactions involved in transplantation immunology are primarily thymus-dependent phenomena of cellular immunity, humoral factors also play a part in late rejection. (12 Dec 1998) |
| transplantation of cornea | corneal transplant |
| transplantation reaction | <immunology> The set of cellular phenomena observed after an allogeneic (mismatched) graft is made to an organism that leads to destruction, detachment or isolation of the graft. In mammals this includes the invasion and destruction of the graft by cytotoxic lymphocytes, inhibition of angiogenesis and other processes. (18 Nov 1997) |
| transplantation, autologous | Transplantation from another site in or on the body of the individual receiving it. (12 Dec 1998) |
| transplantation, heterologous | Transplantation between animals of different species. (12 Dec 1998) |
| transplantation, heterotopic | Transplantation of tissue typical of one area to a different recipient site. The tissue may be autologous, heterologous, or homologous. (12 Dec 1998) |
| transplantation, homologous | Transplantation between individuals of the same species. Usually refers to genetically disparate individuals in contradistinction to isogeneic transplantation for genetically identical individuals. (12 Dec 1998) |
| transplantation, isogeneic | Transplantation between genetically identical individuals, i.e., members of the same species with identical histocompatibility antigens, such as monozygotic twins, members of the same inbred strain, or members of a hybrid population produced by crossing certain inbred strains.
