[Innate nonspecific antiviral immunity]

Participation of macrophages, NK cells, gamma delta T and alpha beta T lymphocytes to creation of innate antiviral defence is described in the review. Antiviral activity of interferons, members of tumour necrosis factor family, interleukins, chemokines and their possible role in formation of nonspecific immunity is reviewed. The hypothesis on the nature and function of receptors important for innate immunity and its interdependence with acquired immunity is discussed.
