Interferon are small proteins (cytokines) that enhance the immune system and defense against viruses and bacterial infections.

</span>There are three types of interferon: gamma, alpha and beta. Alpha and beta can be produced from any cell, and gamma is<span> produced only by natural killer cells and T lymphocytes. The  main purpose of gamma interferon is to signal the immune system to respond to infectious agents or cancerous growth.</span>
