Explain why immunosupressive therapy is important for transplant patients. In your answer, be sure to discuss the cellular mechanisms of the immune response that can cause problems for the patient (e.g. what are the T cells doing when they encounter transplanted tissue? ect.), as well as potential side effects of long-term therapy for these patients.

Discuss the differences between conventional T cell therapy and Chimeric Antigen Receptor (CAR) T cells.
Above in the answer is mentioned " acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) affects the bone marrow and blood. Overproduction of lymphoblasts, which are immature white blood cells" after I did my research i found out the same that patients with ALL have elevated WBC count, due to this patient presenting with low WBC count (1x10^9/L) Could it be possible that they are suffering from another malignancy rather then acute lymphoblastic leukemia
