Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Alpha and beta interferons are produced in response to viral infections and play a crucial role in the host defense mechanism against viruses. They inhibit viral replication and assembly within infected cells, thereby limiting the spread of the virus. While interferons have also been shown to have anti-tumor effects, this is not their primary function. Furthermore, interferons do not inhibit the activity of natural killer cells, which are important components of the innate immune system. Therefore, option B is the best answer.
