Abstract:
Viral infection leads to the rapid production of type I interferons within infected tissues. In this issue of Cell Host & Microbe, Hermesh et al. (2010) demonstrate that interferons produced following respiratory viral infection program leukocytes in the bone marrow to resist infection before trafficking to the lung.

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...
