	B)	Prothrombin activator
	C)	Acetylcholine
	D)	Stat1
2	Who are the first responders to cell viral invasion?
	A)	Antibodies
	B)	Phagocytes
	C)	Interferon proteins

3	How does Stat1 work?
	A)	Interferons give warning messages to Stat1 molecules at cell borders which activate the production of genes to prompt viral fighting responses.
	B)	Stat1 serves as a pyrogen causing elevated body temperature to help fight the virus infection.
	C)	It is a type of antibody which attacks the protein coat of the virus.
	D)	Phagocytes are alerted by Stat1 to come to the site of virus attack and destroy the cells which have been damaged.
