Question

In autologous stem cell transplant, the stem cells are obtained

• A. From the individual itself.
• B. From a donor.
• C. From the identical twin.
• D. Both A and B.

Answer 1

The correct option is A From the individual itself.

There are different types of transplantations in which the donor from which the stem cells are received differs. In the case of the autologous stem cell transplantation, the stem cells are obtained from the same individual. The peripheral blood or the bone marrow stem cells can be used for the purpose of transplantation. There are no chances of rejection due to graft versus host reaction.

Thus, the correct answer is option A.
