Across
- 7. proteins that inhibit growth of bacteria by binding to iron
- 8. cytokines that alter the hypothalamic thermostat, causing fever
- 10. phagocytes that exist in the blood and mature into macrophages in response to chemokines
- 13. proteins that kill microbes and attract dendritic cells and mast cells
- 14. cells that engulf foreign microbes and debris via their cell membrane
- 15. cells that release potent inflammatory mediators (including histamine, cytokines, prostaglandins, leukotrienes, and complement)
Down
- 1. the system that results in opsonization of pathogens, a membrane attack complex that kills bacteria, and inflammation
- 2. natural killer cells that are pro-inflammatory cytokines that activate cells and affect viral infections (hint:and in the word)
- 3. leukocyte that becomes phagocytic when it encounters infectious material (not present in healthy tissue, major component of pus)
- 4. inactivate proteins in plasma that complement antibacterial activity in the body
- 5. phagocytes that "eat" (can be tissue resident or be made in response to inflammation)
- 6. highly specialized phagocytes that are also antigen-presenting cells, linking the innate and adaptive immune system
- 7. small secreted proteins that interfere with viral replication
- 9. large granular lymphocyte defensive cells found in the blood and tissues
- 11. natural killer cell that enters the cell and causes apoptosis
- 12. natural killer cell that makes a hole in the cell
