Interferons are proteins that are synthesized by the immune cells in response to pathogens and tumor cells. They are cytokines. Functions: Cell-cell communication. Activate and trigger immune defenses, for example natural killer (NK) cells) and macrophages. "Interfere" with viral replication in host cells
What exists when the immune system does not respone to a particular antigen?
Usually a virus that hides inside a host cell where it is undetectable (the majority of the time) its antigens wouldn't always be presented on the surface of the cell for macrophages to engulf =]
A cell tha protects the body be eating invading cells is known as?
This is phenomena known as cellular immunity in which macrophages of body eats the invading cell but before that the foreign cell have to modify by MHC or some other type of molecules in the body so that these macrophagic cell can identify the forieng invading cell. Macrophages cells in different part of body are known by different name such as in nervous system they are known as neuroglial cell, in live known as kuffer cells etc.
Are Macrophages and Dendritic cell the same?
Both macrophages and dendritic cells are formed from the same precursor cell, the monocytes. However, the two cells serve different functions during an infection. Macrophages remain in the area of the infection and phagocytosis (engulf) foreign invaders and dead cells. Dendritic cells leave the infected tissue and travel to local lymph tissue in order to alert the adaptive immune system.
