Across
  1. 2. The form B-cells have to be in to produce antibodies
  2. 7. Molecules that attract white blood cells to infected areas and cause swelling
  3. 9. Developed by the specific immune system after the first exposure to a pathogen; have the purpose of protecting the body from future infections
  4. 12. T-cells that can attack specific pathogens by releasing granzymes and causing apoptosis
  5. 13. A form of white blood cells that have small pockets of premade enzymes to degrade pathogens
  6. 14. Immunity that organisms are born with
  7. 16. Gland that produces T-cells
  8. 18. Area of the throat where white blood cells are stored, a form of lymph tissue
  9. 19. Place where B-cells are produced
Down
  1. 1. A barrier used by the nonspecific immune system (ex: skin)
  2. 2. The chemical secreted by natural killer cells to stab holes in infected body cells
  3. 3. A result of white blood cells passing through capillary walls and causing fluid buildup in an infected area
  4. 4. Engulfing a pathogen to destroy it, commonly done by macrophages
  5. 5. A major category of white blood cells that release histamine and cause allergic reactions
  6. 6. Vaccines needed to stimulate older antibodies so they are not eliminated
  7. 8. Plasma proteins that act as the first line of defense
  8. 10. Immunity that does not target pathogens specifically; it has the same response to all
  9. 11. A type of cell with long cytoplasmic extensions for antigen presentation
  10. 15. Foreign proteins on the surface of pathogens that help white blood cells identify them as a threat
  11. 17. The structure of 3/5 classes of immunoglobulin
