- 6. A drug used to treat infections caused by bacteria and other microorganisms
- 9. a mean by which the body is given immunity to a disease by intentional exposure to small quantities of it
- 12. A protein made by plasma cells (a type of white blood cell) in response to an antigen
- 13. help ensure risk and controls are effectively managed
- 16. the virus introduces its genome into a host cell and initiates replication by hijacking the host's cellular machinery to make new copies of the virus
- 20. physical and chemical barriers that are always ready and prepared to defend the body from infection
Down
- 1. provided when a person is given antibodies to a disease rather than producing them through his or her own immune system
- 2. eliminating specific pathogens that have been encountered by the immune system previously
- 3. results when exposure to a disease organism triggers the immune system to produce antibodies to that disease
- 4. a very simple microorganism that infects cells and may cause disease
- 5. The act of introducing a vaccine into the body to produce protection from a specific disease

- 10. lymphocytes (T cells, B cells, and NK cells), neutrophils, and monocytes/ macrophages
- 11. a complex network of organs, cells and proteins that defends the body against infection, whilst protecting the body's own cells
- 14. Immunity that is naturally existing
- 15. A type of white blood cell that surrounds and kills microorganisms, removes dead cells, and stimulates the action of other immune system cells
- 17. Any substance that causes the body to make an immune response against that substance
- 18. help protect the body from infection and may help fight cancer
- 19. part of the immune system and develop from stem cells in the bone marrow
