Virus Interfering

Viruses and interferons. Failure of interferon regulation

It is known that many viruses penetrate human cells and cause disease - they penetrate the chromosomes or cell membranes, disrupt its vital functions and the reproduction of viruses. If a human cell that has been hit by a virus has already “been ill” with this disease many times in a row, it is included in the group of antigen-modified cells. The function of these cells after contact with the virus changes to the opposite - stimulating the immune system, which “remembers” the consequences of the disease. This is why the timely suppressed level of interferon is so important for human health.

On April 1, 2014, the media reported the dire consequences of experiments on the HIV virus. Scientists from the United States have obtained a virus that has learned to “bypass” the action of antibodies so successfully that pregnant women were able to catch it from cats in American Africa; cats even gave birth to dead kittens.

Data from infectious disease specialists from a university in New York showed that none of the six pregnant cats was infected - scientists injected HIV into six pregnant female Bengal cats that did not have viral immunity intravenously. It is believed that vaccinating pregnant animals will help produce antibodies that will impart partial immunity from the disease to their offspring. At the same time, the vaccine guarantees that 65% of kittens will be born affected by the virus, the Independent writes on Monday, August 1. At the same time, complete refusal of the vaccine in 70% of animals leads to the fact that kittens are born healthy. In fact, scientists have received the first scientific confirmation of the birth of super-healthy kittens, the publication adds. Experiments by scientists have shown that cats were injected with two types of viral DNA samples: one had already affected the cells of the cat’s body, the second was modified and was “able” to suppress the interferon produced by the immune system. Thus, it was believed that introducing the first version would allow the virus to be naturally produced, like antibodies. As a result, the experiment was carried out on three different groups of cats: vaccinated, not; cats that were given interferon in water; three randomly selected groups of cats together.
