Interferon's provide resistance to viral infection by :

1. Binding to IFN-α/β receptors which activate JAK/STAT pathway.

2. Production of enzymes which leads to the degradation of viral RNA.

3. Induction of ds-RNA-dependent kinase which inactivates the synthesis of proteins.

4. Binding to Natural killer cells which induces lytic activity, killing viral infected cells.
