Viral vector — Viral vectors are a tool commonly used by molecular biologists to deliver genetic material into cells. This process can be performed inside a living organism ( in vivo ) or in cell culture ( in vitro ). Viruses have evolved specialized molecular… … Wikipedia
viral diseases — Diseases caused by viruses. Long term immunity usually follows viral childhood diseases (see chickenpox). The common cold recurs into adulthood because many different viruses cause its symptoms, and immunity against one does not protect against… … Universalium

Passive immunity — is the transfer of active humoral immunity in the form of readymade antibodies, from one individual to another. Passive immunity can occur naturally, when maternal antibodies are transferred to the fetus through the placenta, and can also be… … Wikipedia
Humoral immunity — The Humoral Immune Response (HIR) is the aspect of immunity that is mediated by secreted antibodies (as opposed to cell mediated immunity which involves T lymphocytes) produced in the cells of the B lymphocyte lineage (B cell). Secreted… … Wikipedia
Laboratory diagnosis of viral infections — In the diagnostic laboratory virus infections are confirmed by several methods that include: *Growth of the virus in a cell culture from a specimen taken from the patient. *Detection of virus specific antibodies in the blood. *Detection of virus… … Wikipedia
