Called_____
Histamines b) interferons
c) pyrogens d) allergens
Answers
Explanation:
• The antiviral proteins released by a virus infected cell are
Called_____
OPTION B ) INTERFERONS IS CORRECT OPTION
Interferon, any of several related proteins that are produced by the body’s cells as a defensive response to viruses. They are important modulators of the immune response.
Interferons (IFNs) are proteins produced by a variety of cells in the inflammatory response to infections. Their production is triggered by the immune system in response to pathogens or cytokines. Once triggered, they induce numerous molecular changes that affect cellular responses including cell growth and inflammation. IFNs can play both pathological and beneficial roles in the nervous system. Endogenous IFNs play a role in viral infections of the nervous system, and therapeutic use of IFNs is common in the treatment of multiple sclerosis (MS). Research suggests that IFNs may also be beneficial in the treatment of other viral, autoimmune, and neoplastic conditions of the nervous system
The correct option is B) interferons
Explanation:
- An antiviral protein can be described as a protein which is produced against a virus.
- When a virus invades the body of a person, the immune cells produce various cytokines for intracellular signalling. These cytokines are termed as interferon.
- Interferon are produces by the immune cells whenever a foreign substance is detected.
- However, interferon cannot stop the replication process of viruses that occurs by using the host machinery.
