15 Questions
What is the role of interferons in the anti-viral response?
Interferons help to inhibit viral replication and spread
What defines the adaptive immune response to viral infection?
Production of specific antibodies and memory T cells
How are granulomas developed and maintained in response to intracellular bacteria?
Granulomas are formed by the aggregation of immune cells to contain the infection
What is the role of Natural Killer cells in anti-viral immunity?
Natural Killer cells directly kill virus-infected cells
How do viruses escape immune detection and lead to disease pathology?
Viruses evolve mechanisms to evade immune recognition and elimination
What is the role of interferons in the anti-viral response?
Interferons help to inhibit viral replication and spread
What is the function of Natural Killer cells in anti-viral immunity?
Natural Killer cells destroy virus-infected host cells
How do viruses escape immune detection and lead to disease pathology?
Viruses mutate to evade immune detection
What is the innate immune response to intracellular bacteria like mycobacterium?
It involves the activation of macrophages to engulf and destroy bacteria
How are granulomas developed and maintained in response to intracellular bacteria?
Granulomas are formed to contain and isolate the infected cells
What is the main focus of Dr. Chiara De Santi's lecture on intracellular infections?
The immune response to viral infection
What is the primary function of Natural Killer cells in anti-viral immunity?
Inducing apoptosis in virus-infected cells
How do viruses escape immune detection and lead to disease pathology?
By mutating surface antigens to evade recognition by antibodies
What defines the adaptive immune response to viral infection?
Production of virus-specific antibodies by B cells
How are granulomas developed and maintained in response to intracellular bacteria?
By aggregation of immune cells and fibroblasts to wall off the infection
