Research in transplantation biology seeks to understand the biological and immunological hurdles in the transplantation of human tissue from one individual to another. Graft rejection can be a problem when the recipient's immune system sees the graft as foreign and launches an attack against it. In Graft versus Host Disease (GvHD) the numerous T cells in grafts of bone marrow see the tissues of the recipient as foreign antigen and mount an immune attack against them. Research in this area seeks to overcome these and other complications associated with tissue tranplant.
