Transplant "rejection" was not understood until after 1950.
What were the transplant developments in 1954?
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. The 1954 development was the first successful kidney trasplant between two identical twins. (They had to be identical twins since ciclosporin had not been developed; the donor had to match perfectly).
Describe how the of ideas and techniques since the 1800's has led to the present success of transplant surgery.?
lol what a cheat do ur on research batty starts off with realization that the closer relationship with patient helped successful transplant. started off with dogs etc. 1954 breakthrough with immunosuppresion which leads to present success.
How has the development of ideas and techniques since the 1800 led to the present success of transplant surgery?
The ideas have kept on rolling on !Joseph Murray performed the first successful transplant, a kidney transplant between identical twins, in 1954, successful because no immunosuppression was necessary in genetically identical twins. But after this resaerch showed that this only happened becasue the twqins had identical immune systems so they wouldn't reject the organ. They then came up with immunosuppressive . Hi Caitlin :)

How has the development of ideas and techniques involving transplants since 1800 led to present successful transplants?
Since 1800's, doctors have layered their lab coats with a mixture of urine and tree sap, this stops infection getting to the transplant patients while in surgery by keeping bacteria and infections from travelling off of the labcoats to the patient. Also, the patients were lied naked on the operating table to prevent infections from their own clothes spreading, however, this proceedure was stopped a year later after Dr P. Starenkroft took advantage of a young unconscious female patient during a larynx transplant.
