Types of Graft

• Autograft: graft taken from one part of the body of an individual and transplanted onto another site in the same individual, e.g., skin graft.

• Isograft: graft taken from one individual and placed on another individual of the same genetic constitution, e.g., grafts between identical twins.

• Allograft: graft taken from one individual placed on genetically non-identical member of the same species.

• Xenograft: graft taken from one individual placed on an individual belonging to another species, e.g., animal to man.

Autografts and isografts are usually not considered as foreign and, therefore, do not elicit rejection. Allografts and xenografts are recognized as foreign by the recipient and are rejected.
