"Original antigenic sin" is best defined as a phenomenon wherein ___.
A. highly mutable virus progressively escapes the immunologic memory and
compromises compensatory immune responses.
B. latent viruses episodically reactivate T effector cells that are specific to the originally
recognized antigen presented in the primary immune response.

D. memory T cells no longer express the same profile of adhesion molecules and
cytokine receptors compared with the original profile of the naive precursor T cell. -
Answer A. a highly mutable virus gradually escapes from immunological memory and
interferes with compensatory immune responses.
