Across
  1. 6. the ability to resist an infection before symptoms appear
  2. 7. a type of innate defense; includes skin and mucus membranes
  3. 8. the process by which a macrophage engulfs a pathogen
  4. 11. protein markers on the outside of our cells as well as pathogens; can be familiar or foreign
  5. 13. "big eaters;" engulf pathogens and display their antigens
  6. 15. created by B-cells; bind to antigens, blocking the pathogen from infecting more host cells
  7. 16. B-cells that last a long time and continue to produce antibodies against a pathogen
  8. 17. where B-cells and T-cells are produced; where B-cells mature
  9. 20. activated by macrophages displaying foreign antigens; release cytokines to activate B-cells and cytotoxic T-cells
  10. 22. activated by cytokines; release perforins to destroy infected cells
Down
  1. 1. where B-cells and T-cells are stored
  2. 2. released by cytotoxic T-cells to destroy infected body cells
  3. 3. a type of innate defense; includes macrophages, natural killer cells, inflammation, proteins, and fever
  4. 4. "disease-producer;" any organism or agent that can produce disease
  5. 5. immune response that is the major process of the adaptive immune response; executed by B-cells; destroys the pathogen and prevents future infection by the same pathogen
  6. 9. the immune response that includes barriers and internal defenses; non-specifically attempts to prevent all pathogens from causing infection
  7. 10. released by helper T-cells; activate B-cells and cytotoxic T-cells
  8. 12. where T-cells mature
  9. 14. B-cells and T-cells
  10. 15. the immune response which is the body's 3rd line of defense; targets one specific pathogen at a time
  11. 18. lymphocytes that create antibodies
  12. 19. the immune response that is major process of the adaptive immune response; executed by cytotoxic T-cells; destroys the pathogen and deals with infected body cells
  13. 21. another term for the adaptive immune response
