Explanation / Answer

Answer is " rejection of transplanted organ would not be expected"

Stem cells have the ability to transform into any desired cell or organ if proper environment is provided. If the patient's stem cells are used to grow the organ and is transplanted on the same person, the organ is not treated as non-self and is treated as a self antigen. There would be no immune reaction or antibody production against the organ. There would be no need to inject immunosuppressant drugs. This is more advantageous compared to other transplantation methods.
