When any of your body cells becomes infected with a pathogen, to what protein do the foreign peptides become attached that initiates the immune response

Answer :

Interferons

Virally infected cells produce and release small proteins called interferons, which play a role in immune protection against viruses.

What are Interferons ?

Interferons prevent replication of viruses, by directly interfering with their ability to replicate within an infected cell.

  • They also act as signalling molecules that allow infected cells to warn nearby cells of a viral presence – this signal makes neighbouring cells increase the numbers of MHC class I molecules upon their surfaces

  • So that T cells surveying the area can identify and eliminate the viral infection.
