Term
Direct Pathway
Definition
recipient T cells recognize donor MHC molecules. Donor dentritic cells tattle. CTLs kill directly and CD4+ trigger delayed hypersensitivity through cytokines.
Term
Indirect Pathway
Definition
recipient T cells recognized donor antigens from donor APCs. This pathway cannot kill grafts because CTLs don't recognized donor MHCs. Cytokines still hurt

Types of humoral rejection

Rejection types
