IFN (Interferons)

Interferons are proteins produced naturally by the body's cells in response to infections, especially viruses. They act as signaling molecules, warning nearby cells of the invasion and helping them activate their defenses. Interferons also boost the immune system's ability to identify and destroy infected cells. Used therapeutically, they can treat certain diseases like multiple sclerosis and some viral infections by enhancing the body's immune response. Overall, interferons are vital in coordinating the body's early defense mechanisms against infections, playing a key role in maintaining immune health.
