2-Interferon

3-Perforin

4-PAMPS

5-Interleukin-1

A) Small, cationic peptides that disrupt cell membrane function

B) Lethal protein secreted by natural killer cells

C) Recognized by toll-like receptors

D) Endogenous pyrogen; promotes fever

E) Protects cell against viral infection

Answer 1

The correct answer to the following question is

(1) -----A

(2)------E

(3)------B

(4)-------C

(5)------D

Explanation

Defensin - it is a small cation cystin rich compound usually found in both vertebrate and invertebrates and are also seen in plants and the main function is protection

There main action is antimicrobial which they act by disrupting the cell membrane of the microbes

Interferon- it is a signalling protein usually released in response to viral infection . It usually protect the other non infected cells from the viral infection

Perforin - they are pore forming cytolytic proteins usually produced by natural killer cells

PAMPS- they are small molecular motify usually recognised by toll like receptors

Interleukin 1 - it usually take part in immune and inflammatory action .It is a endogenous pyogen which promote fever
