What does an Interferon virus do?
An Interferon virus is released by host cells as a response to pathogens which includes viruses and parasites. When something becomes infected then an Interferon is sent out as a warning of the virus to stop the transcription.
How is the infection with the virus that causes hepatitis C hindered by interferon?
Infection with the virus that causes hepatitis C is hindered by interferon via the binding to a site on human cells that is also used by the virus. Thus, the virus cannot enter and infect the host cell
What small protein secreted by virus containing cells?
Interferon is a small protein secreted by virus-infected cells that plays a key role in the body's defense against viruses. Interferon helps to prevent viral replication and spread to neighboring cells by activating the immune response.
What is the name of the family of proteins made by cells in response to virus infection?
Interferon
What proteins produced from lymphocytes macrophages and fibroblasts following infection by a virus?
Interferon
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.
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!!
Why would interferon be used as a cancer treatment?
interferons are proteins released by virus infected cells that prevent the virus from duplicating itself in neighboring cells
Does interferon prevent viral replication?
It prevents the replication of viral infections, this then stops the virus from spreading further into our system.
How does a vaccination prevent infection?
The vaccine is made of weakened virus particles. This causes your body to produce interferon to fight an infection. :-)
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.
What does interferons do?
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
