Abstract:
Monocyte/macrophages are cells of myeloid origin which play critical roles in innate and adaptive immune responses as well as surveillance and tissue repair. Only recently, the role of monocytes/macrophages in acute and chronic HIV Infection has become accepted. Here, we will focus on monocyte/macrophages on transmigration events and their role as viral reservoirs.

01:29Immune Response Against Viral Pathogens
759
The immune system's response to viral infections is a complex and coordinated process involving natural killer (NK) cells, T cell-mediated responses, and antibody-mediated responses.
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...

01:25Immune Surveillance by NK Cells and Phagocytes
1.4K
Immune surveillance is an integral part of the innate immune system, involving the continuous monitoring of peripheral tissues to detect and respond to pathogens, infected cells, or cancerous cells. This surveillance is conducted primarily by natural killer (NK) cells and phagocytes, which employ distinct but complementary mechanisms to identify and eliminate threats.
