The transplant development that happened in 1954 was the development of clyclosporine. This helped revelutionised the history of transplants. Actually, ciclosporin was developed in the 1970's.

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.


3 Transplants between 1800 and 1950 were not vey sucsessful Developments in 1954 resulted in an important breakthrough in transplant technniques?

1954 was when "organ rejection" was finally understood (one identical twin got a transplanted kidney from his other twin and lived happily ever after, sans organ rejection). Before then transplants were not successful due to lack of immunosuppresive drugs. The first good immunosuppressant (Ciclosporin)was developed in the 1970's, but rates did improve slightly after 1954 just through enhanced medical understanding.
