Which agent is responsible for destroying a virus-infected cell?

Explanation

Interferons are proteins produced by virus-infected cells that help to eliminate the infection by inducing antiviral states in neighboring cells and promoting the destruction of infected cells. Macrophages and neutrophils are immune cells involved in phagocytosis but do not directly kill virus-infected cells in the same way. Autolysis refers to self-digestion of cells but is not the primary mechanism for killing virus-infected cells.
