Which is not true?

  • A. Interferon beta is produced by the fibroblasts
  • B. Interferon alpha is produced by the leukocytes
  • C. Interferon gamma is produced by the lymphocytes
  • D. Interferon delta is produced by the macrophages
Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Interferon delta is not a known type of interferon, making choice D incorrect. Interferon beta is indeed produced by fibroblasts (choice A), interferon alpha by leukocytes (choice B), and interferon gamma by lymphocytes (choice C). Each type of interferon is produced by specific cells in the immune system, contributing to the body's defense against viruses and other pathogens.
