  1. 3. type 1 hypersensitivity disorder; respiratory disease characterized by episodes of impaired breathing due to severe bronchoconstriction; extremely sensitive to minute amounts of inhalants, ingestants or other stimuli, such as infectious agents (NK cells are recruited)
  2. 6. controlled exposure to the antigen through ingestion, sublingual absorption, or injection to reset the allergic reaction
  3. 7. (two words) type 1 hypersensitivity disorder; generic term for allergic rhinitis; seasonal reactions to inhaled plant pollen or molds, or a chronic, year-round reaction to airborne allergens or inhalants; targets the respiratory mucous membrane
  4. 9. airborne environmental allergens such as pollen, house dust, dander, or fungal spores
  5. 10. exaggerated immune response that is manifested by inflammation
  6. 11. allergies that enter through the skin
  7. 13. clicking, bubbling, or rattling sounds in the lungs
  8. 14. allergens that cause food allergies
  9. 15. the immune system is incompletely developed, suppressed, or destroyed
Down
  1. 1. antigens that induce allergy in sensitive individuals
  2. 2. allergies triggered by drugs, vaccines, or bee venom
  3. 4. allergy and autoimmunity; tissues are attacked by own immune components that can’t distinguish one's own tissues from foreign material
  4. 5. chronic localized allergy such as hay fever or asthma
  5. 8. systemic, sometimes fatal, reaction that involves airway obstruction and circulatory collapse
  6. 12. type 3 hypersensitivity disorder characterized by butterfly shaped rash across nose and cheeks; all patients develop autoantibodies against organs, tissues, or other intracellular materials
