Students have asked these similar questions
interferons:
a. cause inflammation
b. inhibit viral infection
c. aid in phagocytosis
d. decrease the body temperature
This chemical is released by virus-infected cells to decrease the spread of virus to nearby cells. a. interferon b. bradykinin c. perforin d. complement
Suppose a person recovers normally from viral infections, but then gets the same viral infections over and over again- unlike the rest of us.
A. What is probably wrong –B cells, helper T cells and/or cytotoxic T cells?
B. Should this person be at a higher risk of cancer than the rest of us?
C. Should this person be able to lyse bacterial cells as well as the rest of us?
D. Should this person tolerate a graft (from an unreated person) better than you are me?
