A 46-yeаr-оld mаn undergоes renаl transplantatiоn for end-stage kidney disease. He is prescribed tacrolimus (Prograf®) as part of his immunosuppressive regimen. During the first postoperative month, his tacrolimus trough levels are consistently below the therapeutic range due to inconsistent medication adherence. Four weeks after transplantation, he develops decreased urine output. His serum creatinine concentration increases from 1.2 mg/dL to 2.8 mg/dL (reference: 0.6–1.3 mg/dL). Renal allograft biopsy shows dense interstitial lymphocytic infiltration, tubulitis, and endothelial injury. Immunohistochemistry demonstrates increased CD8⁺ T lymphocytes within the graft. Which of the following mechanisms most directly accounts for the immune response responsible for this patient’s graft dysfunction?
