Q

Regarding interferon-alpha and beta, what is the mechanism of their action against viral infections?
A. They bind to a cell and activate the classical component pathway.
B. They are released by a virus-infected cell and attach directly to a virus, preventing it from entering other cells.
C. They are released by a virus-infected cell and cause nearby cells to heighten their anti-viral defenses.
D. They signal the innate immune system to respond to viral antigens with phagocytes.
E. They bind to a cell that has been infected by a virus and prevent it from pyroptosis.
