Does the immune system kill viruses?
Online Answer
A virus-bound antibody binds to receptors, called Fc receptors, on the surface of phagocytic cells and triggers a mechanism known as phagocytosis, by which the cell engulfs and destroys the virus. Finally, antibodies can also activate the complement system, which opsonises and promotes phagocytosis of viruses..
