  1. 2. ________ is the complex biological response of vascular tissues to harmful stimuli, such as pathogens, damaged cells, or irritants.
  2. 3. ________ cells are cells of the immune system that secrete large amounts of antibodies.
  3. 5. A ________ is an abnormal growth or mass of tissue.
  4. 6. Natural ________ cells are a form of cytotoxic lymphocyte which constitute a major component of the innate immune system.
  5. 7. A ________ T cell belongs to a subgroup of T lymphocytes which are capable of inducing the death of infected somatic or tumor cells.
  6. 10. Monocytes and ________s are phagocytes, acting in both innate immunity as well as cell-mediated immunity of vertebrate animals.
  7. 11. A ________ or immunogen is a molecule that stimulates an immune response.
  8. 12. Antigen ________ is a process in the body's immune system by which macrophages, dendritic cells and other cell types capture antigens and then show them for recognition by T-cells.
  9. 14. A ________ is the detrimental.
  10. 15. ________s are a family of small, signaling proteins and glycoproteins particularly important in both innate and adaptive immune responses.
  11. 16. The ________ system is a complex network of lymphoid organs, lymph nodes, lymph ducts, tissues, lymph capillaries and lymph vessels that produce and transport lymph fluid from tissues to the circulatory system.
  12. 18. The T cell ________ is a molecule found on the surface of T lymphocytes that is generally responsible for recognizing antigens bound to major histocompatibility complex molecules.
  13. 19. ________ B cells are a B cell subtype that are formed following primary infection. They remember the same pathogen for faster antibody production in future infections.

  1. 1. The major ________ complex (MHC) is a large gene family found in most vertebrates, the most gene-dense region of the mammalian genome, which plays an important role in the immune system, autoimmunity, and reproductive success.
  2. 4. ________ or immunoglobulins are proteins used by the immune system to identify and neutralize foreign objects, such as bacteria and viruses.
  3. 8. With no cytotoxic or phagocytic activity, T ________ cells are a sub-group of lymphocytes playing an important role in establishing and maximizing the capabilities of the immune system.
  4. 9. The ________ system is a collection of mechanisms within the body that protects against disease by identifying and killing pathogens and tumor cells.
  5. 12. A ________ is a cell that ingests and destroys foreign matter such as microorganisms or debris.
  6. 13. The ________ immune response provides the vertebrate immune system with the ability to recognize and remember specific pathogens.
  7. 17. The ________ immune response is the aspect of immunity that is mediated by antibodies, produced by the cells of the B lymphocyte lineage.
