autograft is tissue taken from one part of a patient's body in order to repair or replace injured tissue in another part of the same patient's body. OR
a tissue or organ that is grafted into a new position on the body of the individual
from which it was removed.
allograft is tissue taken from one patient (the donor) to be used in another, such as for a heart or kidney transplant. OR

How does an allograft differ from an autograft?
The difference between an allograft and an autograft is where the human tissue comes from. An autograft is when a patients own tissue is used, and an allograft is when tissue from someone else is used in the surgery.
What is meant by the terms autograft allograft xenotransplant and immunosupression?
its the transplantation of one thing to another.
What is the different between an allograft and autograff?
An allograft is a transplant from another member of the same species ( human to human) while and autograft is a transplant from one area of a patient to another (skin graft from upper thigh to foot)
Would an allograft be rejected if it came from a relative?
Statistically, it has been shown that the chances are significantly lower for an allograft to be rejected from a first degree blood relative. However, it is still possible. An autograft (from self to self) is the surest way to minimize rejection concerns.
What is the difference bwtween homografts and autografts?
homograft: donor and recipient belong to the same species but with different genetic material. It is synonimous with allograft. autograft: donor site is in the same individual that is recipient (e.g. skin graft from thigh to face in one patient)
What is the difference between homograft and allograft?
Allograft and Homograft are used interchangeably in the medical literature to describe a graft originating from a donor whose genetic material is not identical to that of the receiver but they both are of the same species (i.e. humans).
What is an allographt?
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).
What is meant by autograft allograft xenotransplant and immunosuppression?
Autograft - Tissues transplanted from one part of the body to another on the same person. Allograft - Organs transplanted from one body to another. Xenotransplant - tissues or whole organs transplanted from one species to another Immunosuppression - lowering the body's immune response to stop rejection of the transplant. hope this helps =D
What does allograft mean?
Allograft - Organs from non identical human beings
What is another term for a tissue transplantation?
Another term for a tissue transplantation is known as a graft. There are two types of grafts in medicine. An autograft is when bone or issue is moved from one area on a person and is moved to another location on their body. The other is allograft which is when the transplant comes from another person to the person recieving the tissue.
What is an allotransplant?
An allotransplant is another word for an allograft, a surgical transplant of tissue between genetically different individuals of the same species.
What name of the graft between identical twins?
the name of a graft between identical twins is called an isograft transplant, when the tissue or organ is prelevated from a donor genetically very close to the receiver, like an identical twin. Immunologically, it is closer to an autograft transplant, and some specialists even consider it an autograft transplant.
