The interferon inducing effects of lectins such as ConA, PHA, LCA und WGA had been demonstrated. The studies were carried out in human-blood-cell cultures and in serum of mice after an oral uptake of substances subjected. In both experiments under determined conditions the lectins showed an interferogen effect. Especially efficacious was WGA. Most interesting was the systemic IFN-activation after oral stimulation using WGA.

Inhibitors of Viral Protein Synthesis

Protein synthesis is indispensable for viral replication, as viruses lack the cellular machinery required for this process and must hijack the host's translational apparatus. In response, host cells deploy a critical innate immune defense involving interferons, specialized cytokines that play a central role in inhibiting viral propagation.Upon viral detection, infected cells release interferons that bind to receptors on adjacent uninfected cells, activating the JAK-STAT signaling pathway and...
