Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Induction of antiviral protein synthesis by IFNs is not a trigger for the inflammatory response. Instead, it is part of the innate immune response that fights viral infections through the activation of infected cells to produce antiviral proteins. Inflammatory responses are triggered by tissue damage, infections or the presence of foreign substances in the body.
