Antiviral proteins (AVPs)interfere with the replication of which of the following viruses?
A) DNA viruses
B) enveloped viruses
C) phages
D) RNA viruses

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Antiviral proteins (AVPs) are usually produced by the host cells as part of their innate immune response to invading pathogens. They act by interfering with the replication of RNA viruses, such as influenza, HIV, and coronavirus. AVPs typically target different stages of the viral replicative cycle, preventing viral entry into host cells, blocking viral RNA synthesis, or inhibiting viral protein translation. While some AVPs may also have activity against DNA viruses or phages, they are mainly effective against RNA viruses.
