- 8. protein produce in response to an antigen
- 9. white blood cells
- 11. Control the immune reaction
- 12. Stimulated by a specific antigen to secrete chemical messengers called cytokines to stimulate other cells
- 14. produces antigen-specific antibodies
- 18. captures, processes, and presents antigens on the outside of its cell
- 20. the defense system you were born with
