Across
- 3. any substance capable of mobilizing our immune system and triggering an immune response
- 7. Saliva and lacrimal fluid contain
- 8. blood-rich soft organ that filters blood.
- 9. a group of plasma proteins that lyse microorganisms, enhance phagocytosis through opsonization, and intensify inflammatory responses
- 10. Vaccines that can intensify the immune response upon subsequent encounters with the same antigen
- 11. The remaining fluid enters the lymphatic capillaries,
- 13. Proteins released by virus-infected cells that protect uninfected tissue cells from viral takeover and mobilize the immune system
- 14. The resulting family of identical cells descended from a common ancestral cell
- 17. soluble protein secreted by activated B cells or by their plasma cell progeny in response to an antigen and capable of binding specifically to that antigen.
- 20. Antibody-mediated immunity
Down
- 1. nonspecific response that is triggered whenever body tissue is injured

- 15. Vessels that transportblood fluid back out of the blood vessel system.
- 16. Macrophages tend to remain in organs
- 18. which plays a role in the innate defense system, engulfing foreign particles and removing them from the area, displaying fragments of these antigens, like signal tags, on their own surface, where they can be recognized by immunocompetent T cells.
- 19. special lymphati vessels located in the lining of the small intestine.
