Across
- 4. / linking together antigens to make larger, increasing phagocytosis
- 8. facilitate destruction by eosinophils and or NK cells
- 10. / glycoproteins made by B cells that recognize antigens
- 11. / the study of reactions between antibodies and antigens.
- 13. Serum fraction containing Ab. Can be given to a person as a treatment against a specific antigen
- 15. /the generic term for serum because it contains antibodies ( Ab).
- 16. / The process of destroying B and T cells that react to self antigens
- 19. / Occur when T and/or B cells are activated to produce immune reactions against self-proteins
- 20. /Involved in allergic reactions and the lysis of parasitic worms
Down
- 1. antibodies act as opsonins to increase phagocytosis
- 2. / Crosses placenta; protects fetus and newborn.
- 3. antibodies activate MAC lysis by complement
- 5. / Involves TH cells (TH2 ), B cells (plasma cells), antibodies.Produces antibodies to destroy invaders.
- 6. not making self-reactive antibodies or self-reactive TCRs
- 7. / Involves TH cells (TH1), TC cells, phagocytes. Destroys infected host cells.
- 9. / first Ab produced in response to infection (primary response)
- 12. / Likely to be the first type of antibody an invading microbe would encounter because it is present in mucous membranes (secreted).
- 14. / On B cells, initiate immune response with their B cells
- 17. / binding to toxins or viruses or bacterial cells to prevent their binding their host cell targets
- 18. / a molecule that is recognized as non-self by the immune system.
