The biological effect of interferon is characterized by such effects: inhibits the replication of viruses (adenovirus, influenza virus, etc.) due to the inhibitory effect on the processes of transcription and translation; antiproliferative - inhibits the proliferation of cells infected with viruses (the majority of DNA and RNA viruses). Interferon initiates the synthesis of a specific enzyme - protein kinase, which prevents translation through phosphorylation of one of the triggers of this process, activates specific ribonuclease, damaging the messenger RNA of the virus. To the effects of interferon are also: stimulation of production of other cytokines, induction of specific enzymes, inhibition of cell proliferation, immunomodulation (increased phagocytic activity of macrophages and the specific cytotoxicity of lymphocytes in relation to the target cells). Interferon is a mediator of immunity and has a distinct tissue specificity. Due to its effects, interferon protects the body from infectious agents (viruses, bacteria, mycoplasma, pathogenic fungi, etc.).
