[h] Microbiology & Antimicrobials Flashcards

[i] Master this session in just 5 minutes.

[q] ……… work on Neighboring cells of the viral infected cells making them in antiviral state by downregulating protein synthesis to resist potential viral replication and by upregulating MHC I expression to facilitate recognition of infected cells and enhance the activity of T cytotoxic and natural killer cells. Also play a major role in activating antitumor immunity.
