  1. 2. Most abundant circulating leukocyte; short-lived phagocyte, main cell for bacterial infection clearance.
  2. 5. White blood cell; includes all immune cells (lymphocytes, myeloid cells).
  3. 7. Soluble or membrane glycoprotein produced by B lineage cells; binds specific antigen.
  4. 9. An antigen that can activate lymphocytes and trigger an adaptive immune response.
  5. 10. Any substance that can be recognized by lymphocyte receptors and induce an immune response.
  6. 11. The discrete molecular region on an antigen bound by TCR or BCR/antibody.
  7. 12. Mononuclear leukocyte, including T cells, B cells, NK cells; core cells of adaptive immunity.
Down
  1. 1. immunity Antigen-specific immune response mediated by T and B lymphocytes; forms immunological memory.
  2. 3. Defect in immune system function leading to increased susceptibility to infection.
  3. 4. Soluble signaling protein secreted by immune cells, regulates cell growth, activation and communication.
  4. 6. Tissue-resident phagocyte derived from monocyte; phagocytoses pathogens, debris and presents antigen.
  5. 8. immunity Germline-encoded, rapid, non-specific host defense; no memory response.
