Questions and Answers

Which of the following statements about graft-versus-host rejection (GVHR) is most accurate?

  • It is mediated primarily by host T cells that react against alloantigens in the graft
  • It occurs when grafted mature T cells in the graft react with alloantigens of the host
  • Hyperacute rejection occurs within minutes
  • It occurs over months to years and leads to a progressive loss of graft function (correct)
  • What is a correct difference between CAR-T and TCR-T cells?

  • CAR-T cells, but not TCR-T cells, need to be engineered in vitro
  • CAR-T cells can survive longer than TCR-T, and have the potential to live months to years in patients after infusion
  • Both CAR-T and TCR-T cells have to recognize tumor antigens presented by MHC-I
  • CAR-T cells usually target cell surface proteins, whereas TCR-T cells can also target intracellular proteins (correct)
  • Which of the following is true about GVHR?

  • It is resolved within a few days after transplantation
  • It primarily affects the graft's function within minutes of transplantation
  • It is mediated by the host's T cells reacting against the graft's antigens
  • It is mainly caused by the graft's mature T cells reacting with the host's antigens (correct)
  • What distinguishes CAR-T cells from TCR-T cells?
