[Molecular mechanisms of the antiviral effect of interferon]
Abstract
The report presents the main aspects of the problem of the interferon action on viruses: definition and types of interferon, antiviral effect of the many species of alpha interferon, receptors for interferon, molecular effectors inducing the antiviral state, molecular cloning of proteins mediating gene transcription activation induced by the interferon.
