What else can I help you with?
What are the cells called that police the body in blood and lymph to kill cancer cells and virus infected body cells?
The cells you are referring to are called natural killer (NK) cells. NK cells are a type of white blood cell that plays a crucial role in the immune system by identifying and eliminating cancerous cells and virus-infected cells in the body. They are part of the body's innate immune response.
What do killer t cells do?
Killer T cells are a type of white blood cell that can recognize and destroy virus-infected cells, cancer cells, and other abnormal cells in the body. They play a crucial role in the immune system's response to infections and diseases. Killer T cells are able to identify specific antigens on target cells and induce their death.
How does the body fight back to a disease caused by a virus?
The body fights back against viral infections by activating the immune system. This involves the production of antibodies, which help to neutralize and eliminate the virus. Immune cells such as T cells and natural killer cells also work to destroy infected cells and halt the spread of the virus. Additionally, inflammation response helps to contain the infection and promote healing.
How do your body fights viruses?
white blood cells are the fighters of the body. whenever a virus invades the human body, white blood cells fight off the virus
What effect will will a virus in the lytic cycle have on an organism?
it will cause a disease in the organism
What 2 things destroy a virus in your body?
for a fungal infection, your T cells destroy it, for a bacterial infection your plasma cells destroy it
What effect will a virus in the lyric have on an organism?
It will destroy cells in the organism
What effect will a virus in the lyric cycle have on an organism?
It will destroy cells in the organism
What effect will a virus in lyric cycle have on an organism?
It will destroy cells in the organism
What effect will a virus in the lyric cycle have in an organism?
It will destroy cells in the organism
What is the difference between a b cell and a t cell?
B cells mark the virus or paracite as unknown the killer t cells attack and destroy the virus.
What are tge pahogens that destroy T-cells in the body is?
One of the primary pathogens that destroy T-cells in the body is the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). It can leads lead to AIDS.
What substances do T cells produce to destroy cells infected by a virus?
T cells produce cytokines, such as interferons and interleukins, that help enhance the immune response against virus-infected cells. They also release cytotoxic substances, like perforin and granzyme, which can directly kill infected cells. Additionally, T cells can activate other immune cells, like macrophages, to help eliminate virus-infected cells.
Since a virus attacks cells at random why can't we just inject a virus into a localized area of the body with cancer and let the virus wipe the cancer out?
Because then the virus would infect the cancerous cells and any nearby healthy cells. Scientists are researching technology that utilizes lasers and nano-bots to attack cancerous cells and destroy them.
What effect will a virus in the lytic cycle have on an oranism?
The Norwalk virus (Norovirus) does not have a lyosgenic cycle. It does not remain dormant as lysogenic viruses can.
What are the cells called that police the body in blood and lymph to kill cancer cells and virus infected body cells?
The cells you are referring to are called natural killer (NK) cells. NK cells are a type of white blood cell that plays a crucial role in the immune system by identifying and eliminating cancerous cells and virus-infected cells in the body. They are part of the body's innate immune response.
A protein that is produced by cells infected by a virus and that can protect uninfected cells from reproduction of the virus?
Interferon is a protein released by cells infected by a virus that triggers neighboring cells to heighten their anti-viral defenses. Interferon helps protect uninfected cells from viral reproduction by activating their immune response, making it harder for the virus to spread. This immune response can include activating natural killer cells to destroy infected cells and inhibiting viral replication within cells.
