Also known as IFN, interferons

Interferons (IFNs, ) are a group of signaling proteins made and released by host cells in response to the presence of several viruses. In a typical scenario, a virus-infected cell will release interferons causing nearby cells to heighten their anti-viral defenses.

AI overview

Interferons are proteins that your body's cells produce and release when they detect a virus, acting as a chemical alarm system. Once released, these proteins warn nearby cells to boost their defenses against the virus, helping your body fight off the infection.
