Solution

The rejection of a transplanted organ is an example of a T cell–mediated condition.

Here's why:

  1. When an organ is transplanted, the recipient's immune system recognizes the organ as foreign because it has different antigens than the rest of the body.

  2. This triggers an immune response, where T cells (a type of white blood cell) attack the transplanted organ.

  3. This is known as a T cell-mediated immune response, and it's one of the main reasons why organ transplants can be rejected.

  4. B cell-mediated, isoimmune, and autoimmune conditions are different types of immune responses. B cell-mediated responses involve B cells, another type of white blood cell. Isoimmune responses occur when the immune system reacts to antigens from another individual of the same species. Autoimmune conditions occur when the immune system mistakenly attacks the body's own cells.
