Summary Introduction

To review:

The response, generated by the immune system when a cell gets infected by a virus and the roles played by major histocompatibility complex (MHC) and the T-cell receptors in this type of response.

Introduction:

The viral infection results in the generation of the innate immune responses in the body of the individual. The adaptive immune responses have two components, the humoral and the cell-mediated immune responses. The humoral response kills the virus from the blood and the cell-mediated immunity kill the infected T-cell.
