ABSTRACT
Antibodies are known to damage grafted tissues by a variety of means, so it is important to know how the humoral response is initiated. In this paper we summarise the cellular events in B cell activation, the mechanisms of antibody-mediated rejection and the evidence that antibody apparently does not contribute to early corneal graft rejection. The role of antibodies in chronic graft loss is discussed.
