True or False: If a sibling has a fully matched MHC haplotype with a patient, that sibling can donate organs to the patient with no risk of transplant rejection.

The matching of ABO blood groups is the first criteria when selecting a donor. True False The reason distance impacts donor selection is due to length of cold ischemia time. True False Recipients waiting for renal transplants don't get medical urgency priority because dialysis allows them clinical management while on the waitlist. True False Graft vs. host disease is essentially the same process as graft vs. tumor effect. True False HLA typing is usually used to monitor engraftment. True False
