It’s been known for a while that SarsCov2 can inhibit one of the antiviral mechanisms the anti viral factor interferon gamma but this paper shows how this could contribute to viral persistence (caveat in macaques).
Very interesting. I knew very little about viruses before the pandemic but have become fascinated by them and how our immune system works. But my understanding is very bitty. I wondered if you could recommend a book or books (and websites) which would give me an overview on viruses, how our bodies interact with them and a glossary of key terms in virology and immunology. I’m thinking of the sort of book a 2nd year ‘A’ level/ 1st year undergraduate could use. Thank you!
