What is the difference between an autograft and an allograft?
An autograft is tissue taken from one part of a patient's body in order to repair or replace injured tissue in another part of the same patient's body. An allograft is tissue taken from one patient (the donor) to be used in another, such as for a heart or kidney transplant.
