The Department of Biology, in cooperation with the Continuing Education Unit and within the activities of Global Entrepreneurship Week, organized a lecture entitled “Strategies of Immune Evasion.” The lecture aims to identify the ways that bacteria use to evade the immune system, the effect of bacterial antibiotics, especially for people who may be exposed to infection, and the possibility of viruses multiplying and gathering inside the nucleus. The lecture, presented by Dr. Janan Mohammed Hassan, included an overview of many viruses during their attack and the infection of cells surrounded by a cellular membrane within the infected organism, indicating that the immune system will miss and they can use this membrane to penetrate any other type of cell, without the need for a specific receptor for the virus. The lecture indicated there are many ways to use bacteria to escape the immune system and the effects of antibiotics, through immune evasion strategies used by bacterial pathogens to avoid or disable the host’s defenses and ensure their survival inside the host, or through the release of proteins to inhibit or destroy the host’s immune factors.
