Which of the following does NOT describe actions of interferon (IFN)? A. Virtually Infected cells can release interferon which attracts NK cells to attack and kill the IFN secretive cell. B. IFN binds to normal, uninfected, cells stimulating the activation of genes that produce anti-viral proteins. C. IFN will attract macrophages to the secreting cell to be removed by phagocytosis. D. IFN can penetrate the viral capsid and destroy the virus.
