    proteins that help the immune system fight viral infections

    Type I Interferons (Type I IFNs) are a group of proteins that play a crucial role in the body's immune response to viral infections. They help to inhibit viral replication within host cells and activate immune cells, such as natural killer cells and macrophages, to fight off the infection. These proteins are also involved in regulating the immune system and can influence the development of autoimmune conditions.
