The body fights influenza infections by developing
antibodies to the hemagglutinin on the virus. When
antibodies attach to hemagglutinin, they keep the virus
from attaching to healthy cells which keeps the virus from
infecting them. However, as each body cell is taken over by
an invading virus, it sends out a distress signal as MHCs
(transport chemicals from inside the cell to the cell surface)
carry viral proteins to the surface which are brought to the
attention of killer T-cells. Immediately they see the distress
signal, coat the cell with toxic chemicals killing it and the
virus.
