Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Killing of graft cells occurs through a complex series of mechanisms including sensitized T cytotoxic cells and natural killer (NK) cells. These cells can recognize and kill cells that express foreign antigens present on donor graft cells. Erythrocytes and basophils do not play a significant role in the killing of graft cells.
