Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The immune system needs to manufacture antibodies, which are specific proteins that bind to and neutralize the influenza virus, in order to fight the infection and develop immunity. Antigens are molecules on the surface of the virus that trigger an immune response, but they are not manufactured by the immune system itself. Hemoglobin and lipoproteins are not directly involved in the immune response to influenza.
