Graft vs. Host disease - type IV hypersensitivity response, but this is the only one where the graft (T cells) are attacking the recipient (cells). Additionally, GvH dz is very common (at least in questions) in BONE MARROW TRANSPLANTS (also liver, but BMTs seems to pop up a lot)

^They are more common in bone marrow transplants because there are more T cells in the bone marrow that are transplanted from the donor to the host, hence a higher likelihood of T cells to attack the host
