Host innate immune response to infection The interferon (IFN) system is a powerful innate immune defence used by cells to limit virus replication. Viral pathogen-associated molecular patterns ...

Prof. Mandel-Gutfreund and Dr. Argoetti speculate this mechanism evolved during human evolution in response to viruses that learned to manipulate infected cells to prevent immune responses.

Innate immune cells are white blood cells that mediate innate immunity and include basophils, dendritic cells, eosinophils, Langerhans cells, mast cells, monocytes and macrophages, neutrophils and ...

In a breakthrough for influenza research, scientists have discovered immune cells that can recognize influenza (flu) viruses ...

Both are live attenuated virus ... innate immune system that, when activated, produces molecules that tell the system to send reinforcements to the infection site, initiating pro-inflammatory ...

Influenza A virus particles strategically adapt their shape -- to become either spheres or larger filaments -- to favor their ability to infect cells depending on environmental conditions, according ...

During the COVID-19 pandemic, health worker Maria Tereza Malheiros Sapienza's curiosity was aroused by her immunity to ...

For decades, dogma dictated that the immune system consisted of two separate branches. Cells of the innate system respond rapidly to molecular patterns shared by a broad array of pathogens. Meanwhile, ...

Infection with hepatitis D viruses causes severe inflammation of the liver. An MHH team has now identified a marker on natural killer cells that is influenced by the anti-inflammatory effectiveness of ...
