he answer is: A
The immune system may control latent viruses such as Epstein-Barr or herpes
simplex, but it cannot destroy or eliminate them. If the immune system is
weakened so that the virus becomes more active, the antibody titers to the
virus will increase. Immunosuppressive drugs will increase antibodies to latent
viruses. Kiecolt-Glaser and Glaser, working with medical students and elderly
residents of nursing homes, were able to demonstrate that the stress of
examinations and loneliness were associated with elevated antibody titers.
Sustained noise also causes a rise in antibody titers initially, but after a few
days the organism seems to adapt and titers return to normal. Studies have
also demonstrated that relaxation training produces decreased antibody titers to
latent viruses by generating an increase in natural killer cell activity.
