Immune System 2023-03-13

Across

A protein antigen on the surface of red blood cells designated Rh-positive. If an Rh-negative mother is exposed to blood from an Rh-positive fetus, she produces anti-Rh antibodies of the IgG class.
The antigen receptor on T cells; a membrane-bound molecule consisting of one ? chain and one ? chain linked by a disulfide bridge and containing one antigen-binding site.
A localized innate immune defense triggered by physical injury or infection of tissue in which changes to nearby small blood vessels enhance the infiltration of white blood cells, antimicrobial proteins, and clotting elements that aid in tissue repair and destruction of invading pathogens; may also involve systemic effects such as fever and increased production of white blood cells.
The most abundant type of white blood cell. Neutrophils are phagocytic and tend to self-destruct as they destroy foreign invaders, limiting their life span to a few days.
An enzyme in sweat, tears, and saliva that attacks bacterial cell walls.
The acquired immune response elicited on second or subsequent exposures to a particular antigen. The secondary immune response is more rapid, of greater magnitude, and of longer duration than the primary immune response.
A type of white blood cell that mediates acquired immunity. Lymphocytes that complete their development in the bone marrow are called B cells, and those that mature in the thymus are called T cells.
The kind of defense that is mediated by phagocytic cells, antimicrobial proteins, the inflammatory response, and natural killer (NK) cells. It is present before exposure to pathogens and is effective from the time of birth.
The initial acquired immune response to an antigen, which appears after a lag of about 10 to 17 days.
Short-term immunity conferred by the administration of ready-made antibodies or the transfer of maternal antibodies to a fetus or nursing infant; lasts only a few weeks or months because the immune system has not been stimulated by antigens.

Down

(MHC) A family of genes that encode a large set of cell surface proteins called MHC molecules. Class I and class II MHC molecules function in antigen presentation to T cells. Foreign MHC molecules on transplanted tissue can trigger T cell responses that may lead to rejection of the transplant.
A type of white blood cell that can kill tumor cells and virus-infected cells; an important component of innate immunity.
A system of vessels and lymph nodes, separate from the circulatory system, that returns fluid, proteins, and cells to the blood.
(T cell)A type of lymphocyte, including the helper T cells and cytotoxic T cells, that develops to maturity in the thymus. After encountering antigen, T cells are responsible for cell-mediated immunity.
A protein that has antiviral or immune regulatory functions; secreted by virus-infected cells to help nearby cells resist viral infection
The antibody-secreting effector cell of humoral immunity; arises from antigen-stimulated B cells.
A type of endocytosis involving large, particulate substances, accomplished mainly by macrophages, neutrophils, and dendritic cells.
A small organ in the thoracic cavity of vertebrates where maturation of T cells is completed.
A phagocytic cell present in many tissues that functions in innate immunity by destroying microbes and in acquired immunity as an antigen-presenting cell.
One of a clone of long-lived lymphocytes, formed during the primary immune response, that remains in a lymphoid organ until activated by exposure to the same antigen that triggered its formation. Activated memory cells mount the secondary immune response.

The abbreviation of NK in NK cells stands for?
T cells are produced in the?
In cell- mediated immunity, T cells attack invading?
Mechanical
Antibody mediated-B cells are activated by the presence of?
are part of our immune defense and act to recognize antigens, produce antibodies, and destroy cells that could cause damage.
Cytokines are?

what group do interleukin proteins belong to?
What type of T cell do cells infected with pathogen activate?
What type of cells are produced and present in the body? They are usually not activated/ dormant until an antigen stimulates them. This results in a rapid response to produce plasma cells and cytotoxic cells.
what type of pathogen does a cell mediated immune response defend against
what else are antibodies called?
phagocytic cell that consumes foreign pathogens and cancer cells
What is the name of the process when pathogens are ingested by phagocytes?
foreign molecules recognized by the immune system
What is the other name for the antibody-mediated immune response?
What is the process called when cells are distinguished into plasma cells or memory cells

Down

what is a CD4?
What cellular process does the invasion of antigens in the blood give rise to in an antibody mediated immune response?
What is the name of the enzymes that trigger programmed cell death in cells in a cell mediated immune response?
Contains polyclonal antibodies (mixture of antibodies that bind to multiple epitopes of an antigen) and monoclonal antibodies (one type of antibody that recognises one epitope)
Where do T cell develop from?
what is the name of the region that bind to the B cell receptors and stimulate the production of plasma cells and specific antibodies?
Production of these are based on attenuated viruses/bacteria that trigger an immune response and memory cells. When memory cells are exposed to the virus/bacteria the secondary response occurs and thus, the body is protected from infection.

17 Clues: what is a CD4? • Where do T cell develop from? • what else are antibodies called? • what group do interleukin proteins belong to? • foreign molecules recognized by the immune system • What type of T cell do cells infected with pathogen activate? • phagocytic cell that consumes foreign pathogens and cancer cells • ...
