Chapter 13

6. capacity of the immune system to recognize and act against an antigen upon second and subsequent encounter
7. the ability of the body to recognize and react with multiple foreign substance
10. the chemical class of protein to which antibodies belong to
11. an antigen that is present in some but not all members of the same species
14. the concept that some parts of the immune system only reacts with antigens that originally activated them
15. the precise molecular group of an antigen that defines its specificity and trigger the immune response

1. proteins released by cytotoxic t cells that produced pores in target cells
2. an overwhelming release of cytokines that can cause severe inflammation
3. any substance that includes a state of sensitivity or resistance after processing by the immune system of the body
4. incomplete or partial antigen, cannot stimulate a full immune response without being carried by a larger protein molecule
5. bacterial toxins that are potent stimuli for T cells and can be a factor in disease such as toxic shock
8. the property of being able to damage or kill cells
9. the selective elimination of lymphocytes that would recognize itself marker
12. enzymes secreted by cytotoxic t cells that damage proteins of target cells
13. globulin fraction of serum that neutralizes a specific toxin
