IMMUNITY TO VIRUSES
•Innate and adaptive immune
responses to viruses are aimed at blocking infection and
eliminating infected cells
.
• Infection is prevented by
type I interferons as part of innate immunity and
neutralizing antibodies contributing to adaptive immunity.
•Once
infection is established, infected cells are eliminated by
NK cells in the innate response and CTLs in the adaptive
response.
