Abstract

Many cells die of viral infections in in vitro systems. Even a far larger organism may succumb if its defenses do not function against a virus. Fortunately, cells and living organisms are provided with various defense mechanisms against viral infection. The most important of these is interferon (IFN), which performs a multitude of functions, particularly in the regulation of cell growth, cell differentiation and immune responses (Gastl and Huber 1988).
