Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Interferons are cytokines that are produced in response to viral infections or other immune stimuli. Their main function is to inhibit viral replication and spread by inducing an antiviral state in infected cells. This involves the upregulation of various cellular genes that inhibit viral protein synthesis, as well as the inhibition of cell division to prevent viral spread. Interferons do not stimulate fever, inhibit cytotoxic T cells, or inhibit antibody production.
