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)

NK cells are
activated by
INFs and
macrophage-
derived
cytokines to
serve as an
early defense
against certain
intracellular
infection

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

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)
