INTERFERONS

Interferons (IFNs) are natural cell-signalling proteins produced by the cells of the immune system of most vertebrates in response to challenges such as viruses, parasites and tumour cells. Interferons belong to the large class of glycoproteins known as cytokines. They are produced by a wide variety of cells in response to the presence of double-stranded RNA, a key indicator of viral infection. Interferons assist the immune response by inhibiting viral replication within host cells, activating natural killer cells and macrophages, increasing antigen presentation to lymphocytes, and inducing the resistance of host cells to viral infection.

But I don’t know why you’d be interested in that because THERE IS NO CURE! How many times do I have to tell you? Stop holding on to the possibility that you might be immune! You’re not! Nobody is! Why? Because there is no cure!
