It is not an organ which contains the immunosuppressive drugs used to prevent rejection - the drugs are manufactured in a laboratory, in the same manner that something as simple as Paracetamol would be manufactured. These drugs can then be given to the transplant recipient orally (including via a nasal-gastric tube) or via an IV drip.

What is the best anti rejection drug to take?
THERE IS NO ONE specific medication to take for anti-rejection, as in an organ transplant..Your physician needs to weigh all the factors, then pick the medication he/she feels is appropriate. Before I was involved with caring for someone with cancer, I thought CHEMOTHERAPY was a specific drug given to cancer patients. What I learned was, chemotherapy is actually a combination of different anti-cancer drugs mixed together, depending on the type of cancer and different factors. There are at least 50 if not more combinations of drugs, mixed like a "cocktail", to give someone with cancer. For every type and severity of cancer, there is a different "cocktail". If you or someone you know is on an anti-rejection medication, don't be afraid to question the physician and also do some research.
