Question text
Why is a cell-mediated immune response more effective against intracellular
microorganisms (such as viruses) than an antibody-mediated response?
Select one:
a. Cell-mediated (vs. antibody-mediated) response results in activation of a many more
immune cells, so it is more effective at destroying antigens

c. Intracellular microorganisms are too small for antibodies to be effective against
d. Cell-mediated response results in destruction of cell containing the intracellular
microorganism; antibodies can't enter cells
