This illustration shows how MPOX infection may have an immunopathogenesis (innate immunity, adaptive immunity, and humoral immunity). The NK cell's ability to destroy virus-infected cells and release pro-inflammatory cytokines may be inhibited by MPOX. By preventing T cell receptor trans-signaling, MPOX may also obstruct the adaptive immune response.
