Answer:

Infected cells with a cytopathic virus (blue) that ordinarily induces cell lysis may occasionally intrinsically destroy the virus and become a "survivor" cell (orange). These survival cells have been demonstrated to play a key role in inflammation and the response to subsequent infection.

Answer NO

Cells that are infected with a cytopathic virus that normally causes cell lysis (blue) can sometimes intrinsically eliminate the virus and become a “survivor” cell (orange). These survivor cells have been shown to be important for contributing to inflammation and altering the response to secondary infection.
