- 10. results when exposure to a disease organism triggers the immune system to produce antibodies to that disease.
- 13. A complex network of cells, tissues, organs, and the substances they make that helps the body fight infections and other diseases.
- 17. occurs when bacteria evolve to evade the effect of antibiotics through multiple different mechanisms.
- 18. A type of white blood cell. They help protect the body from infection and may help fight cancer.
- 20. Any substance that causes the body to make an immune response against that substance.
Down
- 1. medicines that fight infections caused by bacteria in humans and animals by killing the bacteria
- 2. protection produced by intentional exposure of a person to antigens in a vaccine, so as to produce an active and lasting immune response.

- 6. proteins that protect you when an unwanted substance enters your body.
- 7. They flow through your bloodstream to fight viruses, bacteria, and other foreign invaders that threaten your health.
- 8. a viral reproduction cycle where the viral DNA gets incorporated into the host cell's DNA, and replicates as the cell divides
- 11. develop from stem cells in the bone marrow and become different types of white blood cells.
- 12. The act of introducing a vaccine into the body to produce protection from a specific disease.
- 14. one of two cycles that a virus can use to reproduce inside a host cell.
- 15. a cell (as a white blood cell) that takes in and breaks down foreign material (as bacteria) and waste.
- 16. A type of white blood cell that makes antibodies.
- 19. A type of white blood cell that surrounds and kills microorganisms, removes dead cells, and stimulates the action of other immune system cells.
