What other antigen incompatibilities, other than those of blood group, are most likely to provoke this type of rejection?

What will be an ideal response?


A recipient's preformed antibodies against an HLA class I antigen expressed on the endothelial cells of the transplant can also cause hyperacute rejection. Such antibodies can be generated in pregnancies in which the fetus expresses a paternal HLA allotype different from the maternal HLA allotype. These antibodies can also arise from HLA-incompatible blood transfusions or previous transplants.
