Full Description
This exam focuses on host defense mechanisms specifically against viral infections. Emphasis is placed on the roles of interferons, cytotoxic T-cells, and innate immune responses in combating viruses effectively.
Understanding these mechanisms is crucial for developing antiviral therapies and vaccines. Insights into host defense can guide strategies for enhancing immune responses against various viral pathogens.
Candidates will articulate how specific cellular responses are mobilized against viral infections, including the importance of innate recognition and subsequent adaptive responses.
Students are expected to demonstrate a clear understanding of terminology and concepts related to the immune response to viral pathogens.
Sample Questions
- What functions do interferons perform in the defense against viral infections?
- How do cytotoxic T-cells contribute to the immune response against viruses?
