Answer to Question 1

a

Answer to Question 2

ANS: T
The drug cyclosporine reduces rejection, especially in the early or inductive phase, without suppressing the entire immune system. Monoclonal antilymphocyte globulin, muromonab-CD3 (Orthoclone OKT3), is derived from mouse antibodies and is used for the successful treatment of established allograft rejection without affecting the entire immune system.
