According to this review, the immune response to respiratory viral infections includes both innate and adaptive immunity, with neutrophils, CD8+ T cells, and antibodies playing important roles. However, it can also result in detrimental inflammation and viral immune evasion. Antigen-specific T and B cells are part of the adaptive immune response in respiratory viral infections, which eliminates the virus and creates immunological memory. However, overreactions can cause tissue damage and make a person more vulnerable to subsequent infections. Although the innate immune response is essential for identifying and combating respiratory viral infections, viral evasion tactics can reduce its efficacy, resulting in insufficient protection and possible tissue damage. Innate immune cells' antiviral response is triggered when pattern-recognition receptors identify viral components. This triggers signalling pathways that generate cytokines and interferons, which limit viral replication and trigger adaptive immunity. In order to regulate and eradicate viral infections while preserving immunological memory, the adaptive immune response to viral infections includes T and B cells, memory cell formation, and interactions with innate immune components such as interferons and NK cells.
