Proteins formed when cells are exposed to viral or foreign
agents that are capable of activating other components of the
immune system are referred to as
a) interferons.
Interferons are biologic response modifiers with nonspecific viricidal
proteins.
b) antibodies.
Antibodies are protein substances developed by the body in response
to and interacting with a specific foreign substance.
c) antigens.
Antigens are substances that induce formation of antibodies.
d) complements.
Complement refers to a series of enzymatic proteins in the serum that,
when activated, destroy bacteria and other cells.
