LOGO Characteristics of host-


virus interaction
Viruses are obligate intracellular, that produce::
 Cytopathic effect  lytic infection
 Non-cytopathic effect  latent infection
Immunity
 Innate : type I interferon (IFN-a/b), NK
 Adaptive : antibodies, CTL CD8+
Immune evasion
 Various mechanisms for evading immune response

Viral Infection:
•In cells infected by viruses, viral protein are
synthesized in the cytosol
•MHC I mol. present antigen derived from proteins
in the cytosol
LOGO
Innate immune response
 Type I interferon (IFN-a/b):
 Inhibits viral replication in both infected-and non-infected cells
 Increases expression of class I MHC molecules  CTL CD8+
attack
 Stimulates the development of Th1 promotes the expression
of IL-12 receptor
 Inhibits the proliferation of many cells, incl. lymphocytes

 NK cells
 Lyse virus-infected target cells
 Immunity against viruses early in the course of infection
 Major effector cells against herpes and CMV
 Main mediators of ADCC (Ab-dependent cellular cytotoxicity)

Interferons are antiviral proteins produced by cells in


response to viral infection

LOGO

NK cells are
activated by
INFs and
macrophage-
derived
cytokines to
serve as an
early defense
against certain
intracellular
infection
LOGO
Adaptive immune response
Antibodies
 Effective against viruses during extracellular stage
 Block virus binding & entry into host cells: neutralizing
Abs
• Bind to viral envelope or capsid antigens
• SIgA  respiratory & intestinal mucosa
CTL CD8+ cells
 Eliminate the viral infection: lyse the viral-infected
cells

CTL CD8+ reactions
Immunosurveillance functions
Recognize endogenously synthesized viral
peptides,
In association with class I MHC molecules
Killing mechanisms of the viral-infected cells:
 lyse the cells, activate nucleases, and secretion of
IFN-g
Side effects  noncytopathic virus:
 Tissue injury
LOGO Evade mechanisms by
viruses
Alter their antigenicity
Inhibit class I MHC-assoc. presentation of
peptide antigens
Produce molecules  immunosuppresive
effects
Infect (lyse and/or inactivate immunocompetent
cells)

Concluding Remarks
www.themegallery.com

LOGO

The successful infection by viruses is


depending upon several factors:
 Low immune responses of the host: either of
the natural- (type I IFN, NK) or adaptive (Abs,
CTL CD8+) immunity or both,
 Ability to evade the effector mechanisms of
host immune responses
