- 4. (1 word) This type of B cell serves as antibody factories.
- 6. (1 word) This class of T cells functions to kill infected cells and viruses.
- 8. (1 word) This class of T cells functions to prevent overreactions of the immune system.
- 9. (1 word) During phagocytosis, this vesicle is where the target/prey is destroyed by degradative enzymes.
- 11. (1 word) The ______ immune system, unlike the innate immune system, recognizes specific invaders and builds memory to avoid infection from the same invader.
- 14. (1 word+roman numerals) This type of MHC molecules exists on most cells of the body.
- 15. (1 word) The _______ region of an antibody binds cell surfaces and determines the class of the antibody.
- 17. (1 word) This happens when antibodies tag an invader for destruction.
- 18. (1 word) This region of an antibody serves as the “hands,” grabbing onto its matching antigen.
- 19. (1 word) This class of T cells functions as cytokine factories.
- 20. (1 word) This particular type of antibody prevents viruses from entering a cell.

- 1. (1 word) _______ diversity describes how the diversity of antibody heavy chains is generated.
- 2. (1 word) This is the process by which cells like macrophages engulf their prey.
- 3. (1 word) This protein type is produced by B cells and tag invaders for destruction.
- 5. (1 word) These are “leftover” B and T cells that remain after they’ve completed an attack against an invader, just in case the same invader re-visits.
- 6. (1 word) These molecules signal other immune cells to the region where there is inflammation or infection.
- 7. (1 word+roman numerals) This type of MHC molecules exists only on antigen-presenting cells.
- 10. (1 word) ______ diversity contributes to the diversity of antibody light chains.
- 12. (1 word) During phagocytosis, this vesicle is where the target/prey is stored until it is degraded.
- 13. (2 words) This is the process by which many, many B cells are produced on demand in response to recognition of a specific antigen.
- 16. (1 word) The match for a particular antibody or B cell receptor is called its ______ antigen.
