Q. Which of the following statements regarding different barriers of innate immunity is not correct?
- Mucus membrane lining the respiratory, gastrointestinal and urogenital tracts helps in trapping the microbes and constitute physiological barriers of our body
- Certain types of leucocytes such as polymorpho-nuclear leucocytes (PMNL-neutrophils) and lymphocytes such as natural killer cells, constitute cellular barriers of our body
- Virus infected cells secrete proteins called interferons which protect non-infected cells from further viral infection and constitute cytokine barriers of our body
