Classical concepts concerning the immunologic basis for hyperacute xenograft rejection, including the role of natural antibodies, are presented. The book discusses recent insights into the pathogenesis, as well as potential approaches to the prevention and treatment. Topics covered include clinical and pathologic manifestations of hyperacute rejection, the pathogenesis of hyperacute rejection, and the role of complement in hyperacute rejection.
