Across
- 1. Exaggerated immune response that is manifested by inflammation
- 3. T-cell-mediated hypersensitivity; delayed hypersensitivity and cytotoxic reactions in tissues
- 6. The immune system is incompletely developed, suppressed, or destroyed
- 10. Systemic, sometimes fatal, reaction that involves airway obstruction and circulatory collapse
- 11. Airborne environmental allergens such as pollen, house dust, dander, or fungal spores
- 12. III Immune complex-mediated type of hypersensitivity; antibody-mediated inflammation; circulating IgG complexes deposited in basement membranes of target organs
Down
- 1. Antigens that induce allergy in sensitive individuals
- 2. Tissues are attacked by immune components that can't distinguish one's own tissues from foreign material
- 4. Binds to Rh+ markers and prevents a mother from mounting an immune response to Rh antigen
- 5. Antibody-mediated type of hypersensitivity; IgG, IgM antibodies plus complement act upon cells and cause cell lysis; includes some autoimmune diseases
- 7. Immediate type of hypersensitivity; IgE-mediated; involves mast cells, basophils, and allergic mediators
- 8. Allergens that enter through the skin
- 9. Allergens that cause food allergies
- 10. Chronic localized allergy such as hay fever or asthma
- 11. Allergies triggered by drugs, vaccines, or bee venom
