- Give an brief explanation: A 69-year-old male is preparing to undergo a lung transplant. The transplantation laboratory is playing a major role in the preparations by consulting with the surgical team performing the transplant. 1. Members of the transplant team, including the transplantation laboratory, discuss the risk of graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) associated with lung transplantation. What is GVHD? Would the answer be "B" , I'm confused with the answer. A, Recipient T cells recognize foreign HLA antigens on donor cells, activating CD8 T cytotoxic cells. B. Recipient antigen-presenting cells receive processed donor HLA peptides from recipient HLA Class II molecules, which cause CD4 T helper cells to activate B cells to produce antibodies to foreign HLA molecules. C. Transplanted lymphocytes mount an immune response toward the recipient through T-cell destruction of host tissue. 2. Why does lung tissue have an increased risk of GVHD?
