Abstract
Graft rejection is traditionally attributed to adaptive immune cells that recognize donor-specific alloantigens, with innate immunity having a secondary role. The finding that recipient natural killer cells are activated by the inability of graft endothelial cells to provide HLA-I-mediated inhibitory signals challenges this dogma and introduces the concept of innate rejection.
