Step-by-Step Solution

when human organs are transplanted, the body is able to differentiate 'self' and 'nonself'. It explicitly states that the 'cell-mediated immune response is responsible for the graft rejection'. Therefore, tissue matching and blood group matching are essential, and patients must take immuno-suppressants to suppress this specific immune response.
