A patient has contracted an upper respiratory infection caused by a virus. Her initial adaptive immune response to the virus is due to what mechanism of immune surveillance?a. The display of viral antigens by naïve B-cells on class I MHC, which is then recognized by helper T-cells that then activate cytotoxic T-cells.b. The display of viral antigens on class I MHC, which is then displayed to sensitized naïve B-cells, leading to the production of antibodies.c. The display of viral antigens on class II MHC by a sensitized naïve B-cell, which is then activated by a helper T-cell primed to the same antigen to begin producing antibodies.d. The display of viral antigens on class I MHC, which is then displayed to helper T-cells, leading to the activation of naïve cytotoxic T-cells.
