Macrophages bind directly to Semliki Forest virus-infected cells and mediate antibody-dependent cell-mediated
Abstract:
Macrophages were found to bind directly to Semliki Forest virus (SFV)-infected, but not uninfected, P815 cells. In the presence of anti-H-2d or anti-BALB/c antibody, macrophages lysed SFV-infected, but not uninfected, P815 cells. It is proposed that macrophage-mediated antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC) proceeds via two functionally distinguishable initial steps: (1) adhesion of effector to target cell, which may be mediated through antibody or through viral protein, as in the case of SFV-infected target cells suboptimally sensitized with antibody; (2) antibody-dependent initiation of cytolysis.

Phagocytes
Phagocytes are the frontline soldiers of the immune system. They include neutrophils and macrophages. Neutrophils are the most abundant type of white blood cell and are quickly mobilized to the site of infection. Macrophages are larger cells that patrol...

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...
