An allogenic skin graft allows a person with a burn to receive skin from a donor. Patients are often given drugs to suppress their immune system. Why would a patient need to be given these drugs? The body would recognize the donor tissue as foreign material and would mount an immune response. More blood is needed to heal tissue and thus would result in great vascularization of the tissue. Nerve endings would be regenerated. Pain would be diminished during the transplant.

Answer: The body would recognize the donor tissue as foreign material and would mount an immune response.

Allogenic skin grafting is a process in which skin cells are transferred between individuals which are not related genetically. This is also known as allograft. When the skin cells from donor are transferred to receiver body generates immune response against the foreign skin cells with a notion to reject them to enter in the body. Therefore, drugs are given to suppress the immune response.
