Homogeneous graft, homologous graft. A graft taken from one human subject and transplanted into another.
The graft of an organ or tissue from a donor to a recipient of the same species, e.g. from one person to another.
Tissue from one person transplanted to another person of the same species but of different genetic makeup. The recipient’s immune system must be repressed to prevent rejection of the graft or transplanted organ.
A living tissue or organ graft between two members of the same species; for example, a heart transplant from one person to another. Such grafts will not survive unless the recipient is treated to suppress his body’s automatic rejection of the foreign tissue.
A piece of tissue or an organ, such as a kidney, transplanted from one animal to another of the same species: for example, from person to person. It is also known as an allograft.
