Gamma interferons stimulate the phagocytic activity of phagocytes. Alpha and beta interferons have antiviral effects and do not directly stimulate phagocytosis. Antiviral proteins also have antiviral effects and do not directly stimulate phagocytosis. Leukotrienes are lipid mediators that promote inflammation and do not directly stimulate phagocytosis.
