Autoimmunity and the Thyroid
Across
- 2. Female hormone that plays a role in auto-antibody production
- 5. receptor antibodies found in Grave's
- 7. Hypersensitivity mediated by immune-complex and complement proteins, mainly resulting in systemic deposition usually implicated in SLE
- 9. Hypersensitivity involving IgE, mast cells, basophils and eosinophils
- 10. enzymes that oxidises iodide ions and targeted by auto-antibodies in the thyroid
- 12. produced in the follicular cells targeted by auto-antibodies in the thyroid
- 13. Deletes immature T or B cells that posses self antigen receptors
- 14. Treatment for slowing proliferation of lymphocytes
- 15. T cells have a strong association with inducing autoimmune responses
Down
- 1. Renders mature, self reactive lymphocytes inactive
- 3. Inactivation of a T-Cell when encountering an antigen without appropriate costimulation
- 4. T cells that protect against the development of autoimmunity.
- 6. Disease that occurs as a result of Th and Tc cells being activated against self antigens
- 7. Hypersensitivity mediated by cytotoxic T cells, IgG and IgM and responsible for Graves's Disease and Type 1 diabetes
- 8. Antigens that induce tolerance
- 11. T cells mainly involved in development of autoimmunity
