a blood protein produced in response to and counteracting a specific antigen. Antibodies combine chemically with substances that the body recognizes as alien, such as bacteria, viruses, and foreign substances in the blood.

a toxin or other foreign substance that induces an immune response in the body, especially the production of antibodies.

deoxyribonucleic acid, a self-replicating material present in nearly all living organisms as the main constituent of chromosomes. It is the carrier of genetic information.

a living cell in which a virus multiplies.

a form of small leukocyte (white blood cell) with a single round nucleus, occurring especially in the lymphatic system.

Viral replication cycle where the viruses nucleic acid is integrated into the host cells chromosome.

usually considered as the main method of viral reproduction because it ends in the lysis of the infected cell releasing the progeny viruses that will in turn spread and infect other cells.

a very thin membrane, composed of lipids and protein, that surrounds the cytoplasm of a cell and controls the passage of substances into and out of the cell,

The core inside a virus that ontains DNA or RNA that is essential to infecting an organism

phagocytic white blood cell

Cells that engulf and absorb waste m atter to clean out your body

primary line of defence

Your first line of defense is your skin, hairs, and natural oils that keep out infection.

The capsule on a viruss that contains the DNA and RNA that is within the Nucleic acid core.

ts principal role is to act as a messenger carrying instructions from DNA for controlling the synthesis of proteins, although in some viruses RNA rather than DNA carries the genetic information.

secondary line of defence

The second line of defence is a group of cells, tissues and organs that work together to protect the body. This is the immune system.

tertiary line of defence

Your third line of defense is antibodies that your body produces. If all of this fails then you need antibiotics.

viral specificity means that a virus is selective in the organisms it infects, the type of cells and the disease it produces.

circulate mainly in the blood and lymph and participate in reactions to invading microorganisms or foreign particles, comprising the B cells, T cells, macrophages, monocytes, and granulocytes.
