What is meant by the Immunosuppression term?
Immunosuppression can be defined as the decrease in the capability of the immune system. This may be considered as an adverse reaction to the treatment for other conditions.
Why were transplants not successful before 1954?
No effective immunosuppression, which is required to prevent organ rejection. Corticosteroids were available (which reduce inflammation), but no calcineurin inhibitors (such as ciclosporin or tacrolimus), which alter the function of T-cell lymphocytes (a type of white blood cell, produced by the patient's bone marrow, not the transplanted organ) to prevent organ rejection. Hence most transplants failed due to organ rejection pre-1954. The first effective immunosuppression (ciclosporin) was found in the 1970's, but 1954 happened to be the year when the process of organ rejection was first understood.
