  2. 6. Macrophages, Dendritic Cells, B Cells
  3. 7. Found within the lymph nodes, they are phagocytes that destroy bacteria, cancer cells, and other foreign matter in the lymphatic stream.
  4. 8. Proteins that lyse the cell wall of an antigen. They are part of the nonspecific defense mechanisms of the immune system and helps destroy pathogens by coating or puncturing them.
  5. 11. A bacterium, virus, or other microorganism that can cause disease.
