Herpes virus has the ability to go dormant inside of host cells. Explain why antibodies alone would not be able to resolve such an infection.
Natural immunity occurs without a vaccine, just by exposure to a particular stimulus, like the chicken pox virus. Explain why people don’t get chicken pox twice.
HIV can be treated with therapy, but there is a growing in the level of innate immune activation despite control of T cells and a negligible viral load. Explain why you think this may happen?
