| 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 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, 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. (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) |
| tumour-specific transplantation antigens | Surface antigen's of DNA tumour virus-transformed cells, which elicit an immune rejection of the virus-free cells when transplanted into an animal that has been immunised against the specific cell-transforming virus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| kidney transplantation | The transference of a kidney from one human or animal to another. (12 Dec 1998) |
| foetal tissue transplantation | Transference of foetal tissue between individuals of the same species or between individuals of different species. (12 Dec 1998) |
| liver transplantation | The transference of a part of or an entire liver from one human or animal to another. (12 Dec 1998) |
| lung transplantation | The transference of either one or both of the lungs from one human or animal to another. (12 Dec 1998) |
