Immunity
Across
- 2. Cells that are made to remember a pathogen so that if you get it again, you can quickly make antibodies to fight it.
- 3. A white blood cell that engulfs and digests pathogens.
- 5. A pathogen that replicates by dividing in two (binary fission).
- 8. Usually an injection of dead or weakened pathogen to provide immunity.
- 9. A disease causing microorganism
- 10. Released by lymphocytes to fight off pathogens.

Down
- 1. A white blood cell that makes and releases antibodies
- 4. A pathogen that replicates and causes damage by entering the host cell and taking over the DNA replication mechanisms.
- 6. The surface receptor that is a specific shape depending on what the pathogen or cell is. Antibodies fit in these like a jigsaw.
- 7. A medicine that kills bacteria, not viruses.
