Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Cyclosporin A is an immunosuppressant drug that specifically targets T lymphocytes, particularly helper T cells. It inhibits the production of interleukin-2, a cytokine that stimulates the proliferation of T cells, leading to their suppression. This makes it useful in preventing the rejection of transplanted organs, such as Milly's kidney.
