An allograft is a surgical procedure that transplants cells, tissues, or whole organs from one individual to another of the SAME species. The caveat is that the individuals must be genetically distinct. This distinguishes an allograft from a syngeneic isograft in which the individuals are genetically identical (i.e. monozygotic twins or cloned mice). A xenograft is between individuals of different species and an autograft is a transplant within the same individual (i.e. skin grafts for burn victims).
