Abstract:
Interleukin-23 (IL-23) and the recently discovered Th17 cells have been implicated in the pathogenesis of autoimmune diseases. This review will discuss current understanding of T-cell subsets in transplantation immunity and will explore the role of IL-23 and Th17 cells in allograft rejection, tolerance, and ischemia reperfusion injury.

T Cell Types and Functions
When T cells with CD4 markers are activated, they give rise to two types of effector cells: helper T cells and regulatory T cells. Meanwhile, T cells with CD8 markers differentiate into effector cytotoxic T cells. The differentiation of CD4 T cells into helper T cell subsets, such as Th1, Th2, and Th17 cells, is dependent on the antigen type, antigen-presenting cell, and regulatory cytokines.

Overview
Tissue Transplantation
Tissue transplantation is a significant medical procedure involving the transfer of cells, tissues, or organs from a donor to a recipient, with the primary aim of restoring lost functions. This procedure is crucial in treating a broad spectrum of diseases, including kidney diseases, liver failure, heart disease, and certain types of cancers.
