Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Cyclosporine and tacrolimus are the most effective immunosuppressants available.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Antibodies can be directed against components of the immune system to suppress the immune response and block T-cell function. They inhibit rather than boost immune responses. They do not reduce the proliferation of B cells or suppress interferon production.
