Alloreactivity Refers to the Ability of T Cells to Respond

question 24

True/False

Alloreactivity refers to the ability of T cells to respond to allelic polymorphisms in MHC molecules when mixed with antigen-presenting cells from a genetically different individual. The T-cell receptors involved in alloreactive responses are recognizing amino acid sequences on foreign MHC molecules and do not interact at all with the peptides bound to these MHC molecules.
