antibodies

4. Antibodies- are produced from a clone of the antibody-producing B-cells
7. - blood protein produced in response to and counteracting a specific antigen
9. fragment antigen bonding
12. repertoire- The total number of antibody specificities available to an individual is known as the
13. immunity- nonspecific immunity that humans are born with
14. regions - provide a binding surface that is complementary to that of the antigen.
16. Chain- consist of Kappa and Lambda
17. fragment crystallizable
20. - the movement of leukocytes from the blood vessel to the infected tissue.

1. (peripheral) lymphoid organs: mature lymphocytes interact with antigen
2. - coating of a pathogen with a protein that facilitates phagocytosis
3. antigen- antigen that contains more than one epitope, or more than one copy of the same epitope
5. Immunity- Combats pathogens via antibodies
6. Part of the pathogen that the antibody binds to
8. - cells responsible for cell-mediated immunity, mature in the thymus
10. immunity- specific immunity that develops over time
11. Structure - two light chains and two heavy chains
15. - cells responsible for antibody-mediated immunity, mature in the bone marrow
18. pathway- This pathway is initiated by antibody binding
19. - the smallest-known functional antibody fragment
21. - protein capable of initiating an immune response
