[Immune reactions to the African swine fever virus]
Abstract:
Host immune reactions to African swine fever virus variants differing in their virulence were studied comparatively. Their obvious variabilities in antibody induction to some polypeptides active in antibody-dependent cell cytotoxicity and cytotoxic T-lymphocytes were demonstrated. T-helpers of immune pig splenocytes were found to recognize the cells infected with avirulent but not virulent virus variants. The described differences were not connected with the changes in SLA-1 antigen expression in the infected cells but correlated with induction of host resistance, chronic or acute course of the disease with fatal outcome.

NK Cells
NK cells are a crucial part of our innate immune system, acting as the first line of defense against viral infections. These cells can recognize and kill infected cells without prior exposure to the virus, effectively slowing down the spread of infection. Additionally, NK cells produce proinflammatory...
