Small proteins produced by vertebrate cells in response to viral infections inhibiting viral multiplication are known as
-
- Lipoproteins
- Immuglobulins
- Interferons
- Antitoxins
Correct Option: C
Lipoproteins are conjugated proteins having polypeptides in association with lipids. Immunoglobulins are the constituent of antibodies. Inteferons (INFs) are a group of three vertebrate glycoproteins (i.e. a, b, g,) Out of these three a & b are produced within virally infected cells. Interferon induces among adjacent cells, as antiviral state by inducing synthesis of the enzymes which inhibit the viral production cycle.
