Graft versus host disease can be a complication of which of the following

The answer is b. Graft versus host (GVH) disease
can develop in an immunosuppressed individual who receives immunocompetent donor cells. The donor cells respond to histocompatibility antigens present on the recipient™s cells, which are NOT found on the donor cells. Bone marrow contains immunocompetent T cells; liver, kidney, and skin do not have a sufficient number of immunocompetent T cells to elicit GVH reactions. Corneal transplants do not evoke GVH.
