Immune Response to Viral Infection

Immune Response to Viral Infection

The immune response to viral infection is a coordinated defense mechanism that protects the body from viral invasion and disease progression. When a virus enters the host, the innate immune system provides the first line of defense through physical barriers, interferons, and immune cells such as macrophages and natural killer cells that limit early viral replication. This is followed by the adaptive immune response, in which B lymphocytes produce virus-specific antibodies and T lymphocytes destroy infected cells. Memory B and T cells are generated after infection, enabling faster and stronger responses upon re-exposure to the same virus. A well-regulated immune response clears infection while minimizing tissue damage. However, excessive or dysregulated immune activation can contribute to severe inflammation and disease.
