Question

Cytokine barriers helps in evading

• A. Virus
• B. Bacteria
• C. Fungi
• D. All of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is A Virus

Innate immunity includes anatomical and physiological barriers, inflammation, complement activation, cytokine secretion, phagocytosis. Cytokines play an important role in the innate immune response. It fights directly against the virus by preventing its replication. At the same time, cytokines activates NK cells and macrophages, which produce more cytokines. Also, virus infected cells secrete proteins called interferons , which protect non-infected cells from further infection.

Thus, the correct answer is 'Virus.'
