Interferons - Friends or Foes in Lung Virus Infections?
Offered By: Labroots via YouTube
Course Description
Overview
Explore the complex role of interferons in lung virus infections through this keynote presentation with live Q&A session. Delve into the three major families of interferons - IFN-I, IFN-II, and IFN-III - and their critical functions in the immune system. Examine how the amount, type, location, and timing of interferon production affect immune responses in the respiratory tract during viral infections. Discover new insights into exploiting interferon production in specific anatomical locations to design novel adjuvants, potentially enhancing vaccine efficacy against life-threatening viruses like SARS-CoV-2 and Influenza A. Learn from Dr. Ivan Zanoni, an accomplished immunologist and Harvard Medical School Associate Professor, as he shares cutting-edge research on the balance between interferons' anti-microbial functions and their potential to cause interferonopathies. Gain valuable knowledge applicable to understanding viral infections, vaccine development, and immunological responses in the respiratory system.
