Abstract: The interaction of influenza virus and human lymphoid cells has been studied by electron microscopy. The result suggest that virus is inactivate by lymphocytes after uptake of virus into cytoplasmic vare\culls, Over a period of 24hr, the virus particles are processed by the cell, the vast majority becoming undetectable by electron microscopy.
