Question

Name one kind of transplant that does not need tissue typing.

Answer 1

Organ transplant:

1. Proper compatibility and aligning between the donor and the recipient is one of the most important steps in ensuring the success of any organ (vascular) transplantation.
2. This matching includes blood group matching, among other things.
3. There would be no need for such perfect donor-recipient matching if it were done for any non-vascular tissue.
4. The cornea has no blood vessels.
5. If necessary, anyone can receive a cornea from anyone else.
