Patología de la influenza

La gripe es producida y transmitida por un virus llamado influenza, que tiene proteínas en su capa externa (piensa en una persona que lleva una abrigo) llamada hemaglutinina y neuraminidasa. La gripe utiliza estas proteínas para entrar y salir de las células, y en realidad nombramos a estas proteínas H y N (fácil de recordar) y el número para hacer un seguimiento de todos los tipos que hemos encontrado. La gripe es un bribón astuto y puede evitar a nuestro sistema inmunológico al hacer sutiles mutaciones genéticas con el tiempo (deriva) o barajeando su material genético completamente (shift).
