What else can I help you with?
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.
What stimulate interferons that production and how do they protect uninfected cells?
Interferons are typically stimulated by viral or bacterial infections. They protect uninfected cells by binding to receptors on the cell surface, triggering a signaling cascade that results in the production of antiviral proteins, which help defend the cell against infection. This interferon-induced antiviral response acts as an early warning system that limits viral spread to neighboring cells.
A researcher detects interferon in a laboratory rat and concludes that?
The rat has, or recently had, a viral infection.
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.
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 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.
The substance that causes noninfected cells to form an antiviral protein is called?
Interferon is the substance that causes noninfected cells to form an antiviral protein. It is produced by the immune system in response to viral infections and helps neighboring cells defend against viral invaders.
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
Which substances cause noninfected cells to form an antiviral protein that slows or stops viral multiplication?
Interferon
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.
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.
How does interferon prevent the spread of viral infections?
viruses
