Solution
The correct option is C
Cell-mediated immune response
The correct option is C.
Explanation for correct option:
Due to the cell-mediated immunological response mediated by T-lymphocytes, a patient's transplanted kidney may be rejected.
The body is capable of distinguishing between "self" and “non-self.”
As a result, tissue matching and blood type matching are required prior to any graft/transplant, and the patient must continue to take immunosuppressants for the rest of his or her life.
Final answer: A patient's grafted kidney may be rejected due to a cell-mediated immune response.
