Question 2 options: Antiviral proteins will not be synthesized in neighbouring cells. Interferons will be released by non-infected neighbouring cells. Interferons will bind to the virus to neurtralize it. Interferons tell the virus-infected cells to apoptose. The viruses will be warned that a host is coming.arrow_forwardWhen surface barriers protecting the body are breached, the second line of defense (of the innate immune system) is activated. These internal defenses include inflammation and phagocytosis amongst other quick responses. Briefly explain acute inflammation in terms of vascular and cellular events. Use your understanding of blood vessels (smooth muscle and endothelial cells), chemical signalling and the interstitial space to help explain the four signs of inflammation - heat, redness, pain and swelling.arrow_forward
