Concepts of immunity and vaccination principles
Across
- 1. (...immunisation) the transfer of preformed antibodies to the circulation, can be natural or artificial
- 5. a toxin or other foreign substance which induces an immune response in the body
- 6. (...immunity) creates immunological memory after an initial response to a specific pathogen, and leads to an enhanced response to subsequent encounters with that pathogen. Also known as acquired immunity
- 8. (...immunisation) when a substance is introduced into the body (usually by injection) to encourage the body's immune system to produce antibodies against a particular disease
Down
- 2. substance produced by B lymphocytes to help eliminate an antigen
- 3. (...immunity) nonspecific defence mechanisms that come into play immediately or within hours of an antigen's appearance in the body
- 4. substance added to a vaccine in order to stimulate the immune system
- 7. (...immunity) a form of indirect protection from infectious disease that occurs when a large percentage of a population has become immune to an infection
- 9. Typed of immunoglobulin produced in much higher amounts following immunisation
