A child who suffers from a persistent viral infection is found to have a deficiency in lymphocyte production and very few T and B cells

Other bone marrow-derived cells are produced in normal numbers, and MHC molecule expression on cells appears normal. Transfusion of mature T cells from an unrelated donor who had recovered from a previous infection by the same virus would not be expected to help the child clear his infection. 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. Donor T cell viral antigen recognition is restricted by MHC molecules not expressed in the patient. E. In responding to the previous infection, the donor would have used up all his T cells specific for that virus.
