Type II Interferons

Type II Interferon, primarily interferon-gamma, is a protein produced by immune cells like T cells and natural killer cells. It plays a critical role in coordinating the body's defense against infections, especially by activating other immune cells to fight viruses, bacteria, and tumors. Interferon-gamma enhances the ability of immune cells to detect and destroy pathogens and infected cells, helping to shape and strengthen the immune response. It is a key player in immune regulation and inflammation, working to ensure the body responds effectively to microbial threats.
