Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Interferon is the chemical that blocks viral reproduction in innate immunity. It is produced by infected cells and the neighboring uninfected cells respond to it by producing antiviral proteins, which block the replication of the virus. Histamine, complement, and leukotrienes are all involved in the inflammatory response and do not directly block viral reproduction.
