Question

Imagine a hypothetical virus that evades detection by pattern recognition receptors. How could the interferon response still be activated?

Accepted Answer

Interferons could be produced by neighboring cells already infected with the virus.

Answer

Interferons could convert the virus into a detectable form.

Answer

Interferons might cause the virus to mutate into a detectable strain.

Answer

Interferons can be synthesized spontaneously in absence of any infection.
