Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The complement system is a group of serum proteins that can lyse the cell membranes of pathogenic cells, including bacteria and viruses. Interleukins and interferons are cytokines that regulate immune responses, while TNF (tumor necrosis factor) promotes inflammation and also has anti-tumor activity. While these molecules may contribute to the destruction of pathogenic cells indirectly, they do not directly lyse them like the complement system does.
