Which one of the following is a reasonable explanation for why this therapeutic approach would fail? A. Viral infections are cleared by antibodies, not T cells. B. The patient's own immune system would destroy the transfused T cells before they could respond to the viral infection. C. T cells recognize peptides, not viral particles. D.
