Across
- 3. The most abundant granulocytes and first responders to bacterial infection
- 4. Innate lymphocytes that kill virus‑infected or tumor cells
- 5. Adaptive lymphocytes that recognize antigen via T‑cell receptor and kill infected cells
- 7. Tissue‑resident cells that degranulate histamine in allergic reactions
- 10. – Phagocytic tissue cells that engulf pathogens and debris
- 12. Innate lymphoid cells lacking antigen receptors but producing key cytokines
Down
- 1. Adaptive lymphocytes that mature into antibody‑secreting plasma cells
- 2. Cells expressing both NK and T‑cell markers, bridging innate and adaptive immunity
- 6. Granulocytes involved in parasitic infections and allergic responses
- 8. Regulatory T cells that suppress immune responses to maintain tolerance
- 9. Antigen‑presenting “tree‑like” cells that activate T cells
- 11. Circulating phagocytes that differentiate into macrophages in tissues
