Correct Option: A
Explanation:

T cells, particularly cytotoxic T cells, are the primary immune cells responsible for recognizing and attacking foreign antigens on implanted tissue constructs, leading to their rejection.

What is the concept of immune tolerance in tissue engineering?

  1. The ability of the immune system to distinguish between self and non-self.

  2. The ability of the immune system to suppress responses against specific antigens.

  3. The ability of the immune system to promote the healing and regeneration of damaged tissues.

  4. The ability of the immune system to recognize and attack foreign pathogens.


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Immune tolerance refers to the ability of the immune system to suppress responses against specific antigens, preventing the rejection of implanted tissue constructs and promoting their integration with the host tissue.
