Question

In syngeneic stem cell transplant, the stem cells are obtained by

• A. From the individual itself.
• B. From a donor.
• C. From the identical twin.
• D. None of the above.

Answer 1

The correct option is C From the identical twin.

There are different types of transplantations in which the donor from which the stem cells are received differs. In the case of the syngeneic stem cell transplantation, the stem cells are obtained from the identical twin. There are very fewer chances of graft versus host reaction and rejection in these type of transplantation.

Thus, the correct answer is option C.
