- 4. an immune response that does not involve antibodies.
- 9. having a normal immune response.
- 10. a site on the surface of an antigen molecule to which a single antibody molecule binds
- 11. a blood protein produced in response to and counteracting a specific antigen. Antibodies combine chemically with substances which the body recognizes as alien, such as bacteria, viruses, and foreign substances in the blood.
- 12. a lymphocyte not processed by the thymus gland, and responsible for producing antibodies.
- 13. conducted or conducting outward or away from something (for nerves, the central nervous system; for blood vessels, the organ supplied).
- 14. occurs when tissues are injured by bacteria, trauma, toxins, heat, or any other cause.
- 15. prostaglandins causes vasodilation and increased permeability of blood vessels.
- 16. a condition characterized by an excess of watery fluid collecting in the cavities or tissues of the body.
- 20. a toxin or other foreign substance which induces an immune response in the body, especially the production of antibodies.
- 22. the aspect of immunity that is mediated by macromolecules found in extracellular fluids such as secreted antibodies, complement proteins, and certain antimicrobial peptides
- 23. a group of proteins present in blood plasma and tissue fluid which combine with an antigen–antibody complex to bring about the lysis of foreign cells.
- 24. Immunity that results from the production of antibodies against a foreign antigen state of permanent resistance duration; long. Acute Leads to chronic if elimination of offending cause fails.
- 25. any of a class of proteins present in the serum and cells of the immune system, which function as antibodies.
- 26. a type of bone graft.
- 29. a tube-shaped sac attached to and opening into the lower end of the large intestine in humans and some other mammals.
- 30. movement of a motile cell or organism, or part of one, in a direction corresponding to a gradient of increasing or decreasing concentration of a particular substance.
- 31. A severe, potentially life-threatening allergic reaction.
- 32. a T lymphocyte (a type of white blood cell) that kills cancer cells, cells that are infected (particularly with viruses), or cells that are damaged in other ways.
Down
- 1. (AIDS) A disease that breaks down the body’s immune system. Aids is caused by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV).
- 2. the ability of an organism to resist a particular infection or toxin by the action of specific antibodies or sensitized white blood cells.
- 3. A type of immune cell that stimulates killer T cells, macrophages, and B cells to make immune responses.
- 5. the reaction of the cells and fluids of the body to the presence of a substance which is not recognized as a constituent of the body itself.
- 6. the system of immune responses of an organism against its own healthy cells, tissues and other body normal constituents.
- 7. are agents that kill microorganisms or stop their growth.
- 8. a vital immune process that is essential for T cell immune response triggering.
- 15. extreme physical sensitivity to particular substances or conditions.
- 17. the process that occurs if an antigen is mixed with its corresponding antibody called isoagglutinin.
- 18. an organism or cell, or group of organisms or cells, produced asexually from one ancestor or stock, to which they are genetically identical.
- 19. the passage of blood cells through the intact walls of the capillaries, typically accompanying inflammation.
- 21. also known as immunocompromisation, is a state in which the immune system's ability to fight infectious diseases and cancer is compromised or entirely absent.
- 27. A temporary increase in average body temperature of 98.6°F (37°C).
- 28. a tissue or organ that is transplanted from one part to another of the same body.
