Complement must be inactivated because if it were NOT, A. protein synthesis would be inhibited, thus halting important cell processes. В. necessary interferons would not be produced. C. viruses could continue to multiply inside host cells using the host's own metabolic machinery. D. it could make holes in the body's own cells.
