What substance produced by virus infected cells diffuses to neighboring cells to help them fight a viral infection?
Interferons are substances produced by virus-infected cells that help neighboring cells fight viral infections. They trigger the immune response in nearby uninfected cells, stimulating them to produce antiviral proteins to combat the infection and prevent further spread of the virus.
How do interferons provide a defense against viruses?
When a cell is infected with virus it sends out an interferon to warn other cells around it to stop transcription and translation and to produce antiviral proteins
Are type 1 Interferon's virus specific?
Type 1 interferons are nonspecific--they nonspecifically inhibit viral infection inside the host cells. Basically what happens is that once a cell gets infected by a virus, they induce the production of these interferons by the cell, they are then secreted into the extracellular fluid to attach onto plasma membrane receptors of other cells including itself, having an autocrine/paracrine function (IT DOES NOT MATTER IF THE CELL IS ALREADY INFECTED OR NOT)--in result of these interferons binding on the cells (including itself), it initiates the production of antiviral proteins by the cell, which prevent further replication of a virus.In a nutshell: Viruses induce Type 1 Interferon production which inhibits viral replication in the host cell
What is neuramidase?
It is a protein on the influenza virus that is thought to help the virus escape from the cell after it replicates. Zanamivir and oseltamivir are drugs that inhibit this action and thus trap virus particles within an infected cell.
What enzyme in the human body is used to repel an invading virus?
The enzyme used to repel an invading virus in the human body is interferon. Interferons are proteins released by cells in response to viral infections, and they help to activate the immune system and inhibit viral replication.
What stimulates the production of interferions?
When a cell is infected with a virus, the cell secrets interferon to help the other cells to resist to this virus. Hope it helps!!

How will regular backups help if you are infected with a computer virus?
It will help save files on your computer and will help clear the virus off

How do interferons help someone who has been infected with a virus?
I die by fighting a pie.
What is interferon's?
Interferon is a fluid protein found in everyone's bloodstream. It is made by the body to protect body cells from being invaded by viruses. Interferon is also used as an injection into a person that is deathly sick from a virus attack of some kind.
If your computer is infected with a virus will antivirus help?
Probably yes, but you may have to use more that one anti-virus software to completely remove the infection.
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.
What is neuramidase?
It is a protein on the influenza virus that is thought to help the virus escape from the cell after it replicates. Zanamivir and oseltamivir are drugs that inhibit this action and thus trap virus particles within an infected cell.
How does interferon protect us from H1N1?
Interferon is a protein released by the immune system in response to viral infections like H1N1. It helps to inhibit viral replication, boost immune response, and activate other immune cells to help clear the virus from the body, thus protecting us from the H1N1 virus.
