Medical Definition of Histoincompatibility

1. The rejection of tissue grafts by the host's immune system because the donor of the tissue has histocompatibility antigens that are too genetically dissimilar to the host's antigens. The chances of histoincompatibility increase the more dissimilar the host and donor are from each other. (09 Oct 1997)
