How are antibodies different from interferons?
antiobodies are produced as the first line of defense. they are produced in bacterial, viral as well as any allergic reactions too. but, in the case with interferons they are only produced during the viral infections, for example in the case of common cold the interferons are produced which defense against the virus. they dont kill the cells but makes them susceptible. the most common eg is the swine flu virus..
