Answer:

Histocompatibility antigens are encoded on more than 40 loci, but the loci responsible for the most vigorous allograft rejection reactions are on the major histocompatibility complex (MHC).

These systems also contribute to the refusal of the transplanted bodies that are recognized by the immune system of the receiver as foreign.
