- 7. An immune deficiency often caused by an inherited abnormality in which lymphocytes may be absent, reduced, or unable to function normally.
- 9. Airborne environmental allergens such as pollen, house dust, dander, or fungal spores.
- 11. Disease A condition in which the graft attacks host tissues bearing foreign MHC markers instead of the host rejecting the graft.
- 13. The most profuse and fast-acting allergic mediator released by mast cells that constricts small bronchi and dilates blood vessels.
- 14. Allergens that trigger reactions through drugs, vaccines, or bee venom.

Down
- 1. An immune deficiency disorder involving dysfunction in both lymphocyte systems, B cells and T cells.
- 2. A systemic, sometimes fatal allergic reaction that involves airway obstruction and circulatory collapse.
- 4. The study of disease states associated with the overreactivity or underreactivity of the immune response.
- 5. A chronic localized allergy, such as hay fever or asthma.
- 6. An overreactivity of the immune system that includes allergies and autoimmunity.
- 8. Antigens that induce allergies in sensitive individuals.
- 10. Allergens that cause food allergies.
- 12. Controlled exposure to an antigen through ingestion, sublingual absorption, or injection to reset the allergic reaction.
