Allorecognition is the ability of an individual organism to distinguish its own tissues from those of another. It manifests itself in the recognition of antigens expressed on the surface of cells of non-self origin. Allorecognition has been described in nearly all multicellular phyla. * Immune system, Immunology * Transplant rejection * Tissue typing * Major histocompatibility complex (MHC)
