Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Immunosuppressive drugs are needed indefinitely after transplantation to prevent rejection of the transplanted tissue or organ. Even with identical twins, there can still be some degree of tissue incompatibility that requires ongoing immunosuppression. Therefore, option E is also correct. Options A and B are not correct as the duration of immunosuppressive therapy depends on the individual case and the type of transplant.
