Viruses can only affect certain cells in the body because they rely on specific receptors on the surface of host cells to gain entry. Each virus has a unique structure that allows it to bind to particular receptor proteins, which are only present on certain cell types. Additionally, the internal machinery and conditions of these target cells must be suitable for the virus to replicate. This specificity determines the range of tissues or organs a virus can infect.

When body cells are attacked by viruses they produce what?

How do viruses kill cancer cells?
Viruses can be engineered to specifically target and infect cancer cells, causing them to die. Some viruses can also stimulate the immune system to recognize and attack cancer cells. Additionally, certain viruses have the ability to directly interfere with the replication process of cancer cells, leading to their death.

How do you some hormones affect only certain cells in the body but not others?
These cells have specific types of receptors on their membranes.
What are some limitations of antibiotics?
One thing is that antibiotics cannot kill viruses, as viruses are DNA structures which enter the cells in your body in order to duplicate, however antibiotics cannot enter into the cells, and can therefore not stop the virus.

How do viruses damage the body?
This question is strangely placed and/or worded. If you mean biological viruses: viruses harm people in many different ways, depending on the specimen. Generally, they inject DNA into your cells, "hijacking" them for their own selfish needs. Mainly for reproduction. If you mean computer viruses: computer viruses work as most other programs do, but with an interesting twist. They exploit your files in a way similar to the explanation above. Quite fascinating.
