- 5. provide innate defense, interfering with viruses and helping activate macrophages
- 7. agents that cause disease, infect a wide range of animals, including humans
- 9. system consists of about 30 proteins that are activated by substance on microbe surfaces
- 11. small accessible part of antigens that bind to an antigen receptor
