title: Transplantation immunology.
abstract: The success of transplantation is such that it is now the treatment of choice for many of those requiring renal replacement therapy. The use of other solid organs, including liver, pancreas, heart and lung, continues to progress. This article reviews some recent advances in our understanding of the immunological response to alloantigen and xenoantigen.
