Solution

Interferons are proteins that are effective against most viruses. They are naturally produced by virus infected cells. The proteins interact with adjacent cells and make them resistant to virus attack. Now interferons are also being manufactured through genetic engineering.

Interferons control the multiplication of virus particles by inhibiting their protein synthesis.
