Across
- 3. Antigens that induce allergy in sensitive individuals.
- 5. Allergies that enter through the skin.
- 7. Respiratory disease characterized by episodes of impaired breathing due to severe bronchoconstriction.
- 13. Allergies triggered by drugs, vaccines, or bee venom.
- 14. Hypothesis that immune systems need to be trained by interaction with microbes as we develop. 70% of this training happens in the gut.
- 15. More allergenic than carbohydrates, fats, or nucleic acids. Vaccine components are based on viral proteins.
- 17. Allergy and autoimmunity, tissues are attacked by immune components that can't distinguish one's own tissues from foreign material.
- 19. Generic term for allergic rhinitis. Reaction to inhaled pollen or molds, airborne allergens or inhalants that target the respiratory mucous membranes.
Down
- 1. Common allergy and anaphylaxis. Immediate hypersensitivity that involves mast cells, basophils, and allergic mediators.
- 2. Systemic, sometimes fatal, reaction that involves airway obstruction and circulatory collapse.
- 4. (Immunodefeciency) The immune system is incompletely developed, suppressed, or destroyed.
- 6. The study of disease states associated with the overreactivity or underreactivity of the immune response.
- 7. Chronic localized allergy such as hay fever or asthma.
- 8. Immune complexes deposited in basement membranes of target organs; includes some autoimmune diseases.
- 9. Exaggerated immune response that is manifested by inflammation.
- 10. Immune functions are involved in asthma, anaphylaxis, diabetes (Type I), rheumatoid arthritis, organ/graft rejection.
- 11. IgG and IgM mediated cell damage. Antibodies plus complement act upon cells and cause cell lysis; includes some autoimmune diseases.
- 12. Ingested allergens that cause food allergies.
- 16. T-Cell response. Delayed hypersensitivity and cytotoxic reactions in tissues; includes autoimmune diseases.
- 18. Airborne environmental allergens such as pollen, house dust, dander, or fungal spores.
