A) Gajdusek
B) Stanley and Prusiner
C) Isaacs and Lindemann
D) Randies
Correct Answer: C
Solution :
Interferons were discovered by Issacs and Lindemann in 1957. Interferon is a rare blood protein that increases human resistance to viral infection. In human, three groups of interferons have been discovered. \[\alpha \]-Interferon from white blood cells. They prevent viral replication and protein assembly in the neighbouring cells. \[\beta \]-Interferon from connective tissue fibroblasts. They serve the same function as \[\alpha \]-Interferon. \[\gamma \]-Interferon from lymphocytes and natural killer cells. They provide immunological defence against infection and cancer.
