The correct answer is:
Drug: Cyclosporin A, Organism: Trichoderma
Cyclosporin A is a bioactive molecule that is derived from the fungus Trichoderma polysporum. It is used as an immunosuppressive agent in organ transplant patients. Usually, the donor organs can excite an immune reaction in the recipient's body, and the donor organs, in this case, the liver, will be rejected by the patient. Amol needs an immunosuppressive agent to accept the donor liver in his body.
