Plant viruses have a difficult time entering the cells they infect partly because plant cells are surrounded by tough cell walls that viruses alone cannot break through; however, once inside a plant they can multiply and spread rapidly.
What else can I help you with?
What is produced by cells infected with viruses?
More viruses. Cells infected with virus DNA are essentially converted into virus factories. Instead of producing the materials the cell needs to reproduce, it produces dormant viruses, until the cell bursts and the new viruses begin infecting other cells.
Are interferon's viruses?
Interferons are not viruses. They are a group of signaling proteins released by cells in response to the presence of pathogens like viruses. Interferons help to regulate the immune response and inhibit viral replication within infected cells.
What protein can be released by infected cells to help protect cells that have not yet been infected?
Infected cells can release interferons, a type of cytokine, to help protect neighboring uninfected cells. Interferons signal these nearby cells to enhance their antiviral defenses, making them less susceptible to infection. This response is part of the innate immune system's mechanism to limit the spread of viruses within the body.
What directly attacks host cells that contain bacteria or viruses?
The immune system's T cells directly attack host cells that have been infected by bacteria or viruses. T cells identify these infected cells through the presence of foreign antigens and use various mechanisms to destroy them, such as releasing toxic chemicals or inducing programmed cell death. This process helps to limit the spread of the infection within the body.
What is a protein released by macrophages and activated T cells that helps to protect other body cells from viral multiplication?
Interferon is the protein released by macrophages and activated T cells that helps protect other body cells from viral multiplication. It works by inhibiting the replication of viruses within infected cells and activating immune responses to eliminate the viruses.
What is infected and destroyed by the HIV viruses?
White blood cells
What are oncolytic viruses?
Oncolytic viruses are viruses used in cancer treatment. They kill these viruses through chemical means in multiple stages by attacking infected cells.
What is produced by cells infected with viruses?
More viruses. Cells infected with virus DNA are essentially converted into virus factories. Instead of producing the materials the cell needs to reproduce, it produces dormant viruses, until the cell bursts and the new viruses begin infecting other cells.
Why don't anitibiotics work on virus?
Antibiotics do not work on viruses because viruses are not cells which can take in and out or be infected by specific processes.
What molecule in your blood binds to viruses to block them from entering one of your cells?
plasma
Are interferon's viruses?
Interferons are not viruses. They are a group of signaling proteins released by cells in response to the presence of pathogens like viruses. Interferons help to regulate the immune response and inhibit viral replication within infected cells.
how are new viruses produced How might this process cause harm to the infected cell?
All viruses kill they cells that they infect. If not right away then later.
What do the T-cells do?
If im correct, helper t-cells activate: b-cells that mark viruses and make them stick together, killer t-cells --which attack macrophages and infected cells, and memory b-cells, which remember how to stop viruses, this i believe is called active immunity
Why would you want killer t cells to be present if you have a cold?
you would want killer t cells to be present because, they kill cells that are infected by viruses, and bacterium.
What does inclusion mean in health and social care?
Small particles of matter found in cells infected with certain viruses
What cells do helper T-cells activate?
If im correct, helper t-cells activate: b-cells that mark viruses and make them stick together, killer t-cells --which attack macrophages and infected cells, and memory b-cells, which remember how to stop viruses, this i believe is called active immunity
