Type of cell
In tissue and organ transplantation, the: passenger leukocyte theory is: the——proposition that leucocytes within a transplanted allograft sensitize the recipient's alloreactive T-lymphocytes, causing transplant rejection.
The concept was first proposed by, George Davis Snell and the "term coined in 1968 when Elkins." And Guttmann showed that leukocytes present in a donor graft initiate an immune response in the recipient of a transplant.
