Interferon:

 These are specific type of antiviral proteins produced by the host cell after viral infection used to inhibit the growth of virus. These are used in the treatment of viral infection or disease. An interferon works by blocking/halting the viral replication. The different types of interferon are:

  • α- interferon:
  • β- interferon:
  • γ- interferon:
