Solution
The viral infected cell produces three signals.
The first signal is that of the production of a double-stranded RNA, which produces interferon.
The 2nd signal is the expression of a viral protein on the plasma membrane’s surface. Therefore, it causes the activation of natural killer cells, cytotoxic T-cells, and at times the induction of synthesis of antibodies.
The third signal is when the inclusion body is formed, either in the nucleus or cytoplasm or occasionally in the nucleus and cytoplasm both.
