Question

Consider the following four statements (i-iv)
regarding kidney transplant and select the two
correct ones out of these.
(i) Even if a kidney transplant is proper the
recipient may need to take immune
suppresants for a long time
(ii) The cell mediated immune response is
responsible for the graft rejection
(iii) The B-lymphocytes are responsible for
rejection of the graft
(iv) The acceptance or rejection of a kidney
transplant depends on specific interferons
The two correct statements are:
(a) (ii) and (iii) (b) (iii) and (iv)
(c) (i) and (iii) (d) (i) and (ii)

Answer 1

1) Even if a kidney transplant is proper, the recipient may need to immune suppressants for a long time because there will be graft rejection. These drugs help to prevent the recipient's immune system from attacking the donor's organ.

2) The rejection of transplanted tissue by the recipient's immune system is called graft rejection. The cell-mediated immune response is responsible for graft rejection.

So, the correct answer is 'a and b'.
