A. Acute rejection is mediated by T lymphocytes.
DISCUSSION: Acute rejection is mediated primarily by T lymphocytes. It occurs over 1 to 3 weeks after placement of an allograft. Hyperacute rejection is mediated by preformed cytotoxic antibody. It occurs within 48 hours of placement of a graft. Chronic rejection is mediated by both T cells and B cells and occurs over months.
