- Athe immune system sometimes reacts against foreign antigens in the grafted tissue, causing what is often called a rejection syndrome. Immune suppression drugs reduce the immune systems ability to attack the foreign antigens in the donated tissue.
- Bbecause rejection is caused by an inappropriate and excessive responses to self-antigens, giving immune suppression drugs would reduce this effect.
- Crejection involves antigen antibody reactions, mainly IgE triggered by repeated exposure to an allergen, so immune suppression drugs would reduce the reaction to the allergen which in this cause is the transplanted organ
- Ddelayed allergic response occurs with transplanted organs, so immune suppression drugs would reduce the allergic response and decrease rejection.

- Ait would counter the effects of the self antigen reaction
- Bit would replace the allergen with a different chemical and this reduce her symptoms
- Cit would reduce the antigen antibody reaction caused by the allergen
- Dit would reduce the amount of human leukocyte antigen in her system
