Natural immune responses in organ transplants: new insights and treatment options

Updated

Abstract

Innate immunity is increasingly recognized as a major player in transplantation.

  • Innate immunity contributes to inflammation during the early post-transplant phase.
  • It influences how adaptive immune cells develop, potentially leading to either rejection or tolerance of the transplant.
  • Recent findings suggest that innate allorecognition is linked to allograft rejection.
  • The review discusses the physiology of innate immune components related to transplantation.
  • Current and promising therapies include cellular treatments, anticomplement agents, and anticytokine strategies.
