What is it called when a transplanted organ is attacked by the body's immune system?
It is called organ rejection, which occurs when the recipient's immune system recognizes the transplanted organ as foreign and tries to attack and destroy it. Organ rejection can lead to the failure of the transplanted organ if not managed properly with immunosuppressive medications.
How does the DNA in a transplanted organ get matched with the recipient's body?
DNA in a transplanted organ is matched with the recipient's body through human leukocyte antigen (HLA) typing. HLA genes code for proteins on the surface of cells that help the immune system recognize whether a cell is "self" or "foreign". A close match between the donor and recipient's HLA genes reduces the risk of organ rejection.
Which substances produced in the body are directly responsible for rejection of a transplanted organ?
T cells and antibodies are two primary substances produced by the body that are responsible for rejection of a transplanted organ. T cells recognize the transplanted organ as foreign and mount an immune response, while antibodies can target the transplanted tissue for destruction. These responses can lead to rejection if not controlled by immunosuppressive medications.
Why do you think rejection occurs?
Rejection of what? A transplanted organ? Sometimes the body recognises the new organ as a foreign body and attacks it. Medication is given to prevent it usually.

How might organs transplants which are meant to save a person life endanger the person?
An organ transplant can cause tissue rejection, where the patient's immune system tries to destroy the transplanted organ, because the foreign organ is mistaken for pathogens.
What is the foreign material called that stimulates the production of an antibody?
do you mean antigens? An antigen is any (foreign) substance that stimulates an immune reaction.
Transplanted organs may be rejected in the type of immune response called?
Rejection of transplanted organs occurs in the type of immune response called "graft rejection". This occurs when the recipient's immune system recognizes the transplanted organ as foreign and attacks it, leading to potential organ failure. Medications are often used to suppress this immune response and prevent rejection.
What is the number 1 organ transplanted?
