Interferons:

The body releases glycoproteins as the defensive response to virus are called interferons.

The interferons initiate the series of molecular changes and elicit the immune cells to fight the pathogens or foreign particles. These interferons affect the growth of cells and inflammation. Interferons are the cytokines and are responsible for intercellular signalling. The interferons does not directly affect the multiplication of virus instead, it does not let other cells allow virus to use its machinery and replicate. Interferons are of three types: alpha, beta and gamma. The gamma interferon is majorly responsible for the immune response.

ELEN [110]

Answer:

commensalism

Explanation:

Commensalism is a type of ecological interaction between two species in which one speices benefits while other is unaffected. Commensalism also can be considered as a type of symbiosis-two species that live together. The interaction between human and its microbiota is beneficial for microbiota while it has no effects on humans.

Although, some bacteria (gut bacteria) can help in digestion. In this case, interaction with human is mutualism (both have benefits).
