|
|
what induces an anti-viral resistance in uninfacted cells
|
interferons(IFN)
|
|
when are IFN a, b produced? What do they activate
|
early in infection, activate natural killer cells, inc MHC Class I expression
|
|
when is IFN y produced? By what? What do they activate
|
produced later by activated T cells, activate macrophages to kill infected cells
