Assertion : An organ transplant patient ...

Assertion : An organ transplant patient if not provided with cyclosporin A may reject the transplanted organ.
Reason : Cycosporin A inhibits activation of T-cells and interferes with destruction of non-self cells.

A

If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion

B

If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion

C

If assertion is true but reason is false

D

If both assertion and reason are false

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Cyclosporin A is cyclic oligipeptide obtained through fermentative activity of fungus Trichoderma polysporum. It has immunosuppressive properties and inhibits activation of T-cells. T cells of immune system mainly function to kill non-self cells. Because cyclosporin A inhibits T cell function, it caused immunosuppression and chances of rejection of transplanted organ are reduced. Thus, organ transplant patients are provided with cyclosporin A.
