Tissue typing involves checking that the organ destined for transplant has the same tissue type as the patient that is due to receive the organ requires. Tissue typing is usually only done on kidney transplants - other organs only require matching bloodtype and size.

Why has the development of ideas and techniques involving transplants since 1800 led to present successful transplants?
Transplants between 1800 and 1950 were not very successful, this is because there was not things like tissue typing and immunosuppressive drugs available, these are important because tissue typing test that the tissue is compatible with the body it will be transplanted to, and immunosuppressive drugs destroy the immune system so that the antiboddies wont destroy the new organ.
