What does an infected cell do?
An infected cell typically alters its normal functions to support the replication of the pathogen, such as a virus or bacterium, that has invaded it. It may produce viral proteins, release new viral particles, or trigger inflammatory responses to recruit immune cells. Additionally, the infected cell can signal neighboring cells to enhance their defenses or undergo apoptosis (programmed cell death) to limit the spread of the infection. Ultimately, the behavior of the infected cell contributes to both the pathogen's propagation and the host's immune response.
What type of cell destroys body cells infected with microbes?
Cytotoxic T cells are a type of cell that destroys body cells infected with microbes. They recognize infected cells by detecting specific antigens on their surface and then release toxic substances to kill the infected cell.
What is the protein that punches hole into the plasma membrane of a infected host cell called?
The protein that punches holes into the plasma membrane of an infected host cell is called a pore-forming protein. These proteins create pores that disrupt the cell membrane's integrity, leading to cell lysis and death.
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 eventually happens in the infected cell?
In an infected cell, the pathogen, such as a virus, hijacks the cell's machinery to replicate itself. This often leads to the production of new viral particles, which can then cause cell damage or death. As the cell's resources are depleted and its normal functions are disrupted, it may undergo apoptosis or lysis, releasing the newly formed pathogens to infect neighboring cells. This process contributes to the spread of the infection within the host.
The cell infected by a virus is referred to as the?
The cell infected by a virus is referred to as the host cell. The virus hijacks the host cell's machinery to replicate and produce more virus particles.
Does a virus use ATP?
no, that is supplied by the infected cell.
How do CD8 T cells kill infected cells in the immune response process?
CD8 T cells kill infected cells by releasing proteins called perforins and granzymes. Perforins create pores in the infected cell's membrane, allowing granzymes to enter and trigger cell death. This process helps eliminate the infected cell and stop the spread of the infection.
What do you call a cell that has been infected with a virus?
It is called a host cell. The virus attaches to the cell and injects its DNA into the cell. The virus's DNA overruns the "instructions" that the cell has and "tells" the cell to make copies of the virus using the DNA. Then the cell makes so many copies of the virus, that it explodes. The new viruses then go on to attach to other cells.
What organisms are infected with sickle cell?
brain,heart,lungs
What component of a virus is injected into the infected cell?
The components of a virus that is injected into the infected cell is either the RNA or DNA. A virus is composed of two parts a nucleic acid part and a protein part.
What component of a virus is injected into infected cell?
The genetic material of a virus, either DNA or RNA, is injected into an infected cell. This genetic material contains the instructions needed for the virus to hijack the cell's machinery and replicate itself.
Which components of HIV functions are release after of the virion from the infected cell?
protease
How do cytotoxic T cells kill infected or abnormal cells in the body?
Cytotoxic T cells kill infected or abnormal cells by releasing toxic substances that puncture the cell membrane, triggering cell death.
What type of cell destroys body cells infected with microbes?
Cytotoxic T cells are a type of cell that destroys body cells infected with microbes. They recognize infected cells by detecting specific antigens on their surface and then release toxic substances to kill the infected cell.
Which of the following is the best predictor of how much damage a virus causes?
Ability of the infected cell to undergo normal cell division.
Which white blood cell is the first to leave the blood to enter infected tissues?
B
