Across
- 2. Establishment and multiplication of an organism within or on the body
- 4. Time period between start of infection and appearance of symptoms
- 5. A type of antibody that provides long-term immunity and is produced later in the immune response
- 6. A period of illness with characteristic symptoms, following the prodrome phase
- 10. A state of having a weakened immune system
- 13. A general term for the microorganisms that typically reside in or on the body without causing harm
- 15. A type of antibody that is the first to appear in response to an infection, indicating a current or recent infection
- 19. A laboratory technique that involves growing microorganisms in a controlled environment
- 22. The phase with the initiation of non-specific symptoms, precedes actual acute illness
- 23. The ability of a pathogen to cause disease
- 24. A test that detects antibodies that cross-react with antigens from different species, often used in the diagnosis of infectious mononucleosis
- 28. A bacterium that causes infections like strep throat and can lead to sequelae such as rheumatic fever
- 30. A test that measures the amount of time it takes for red blood cells to settle in a tube, a non-specific indicator of inflammation
- 31. A laboratory technique that measures the ability of antibodies to "fix" complement, making it unavailable to lyse cells
- 32. A virus that causes infectious mononucleosis and is associated with other diseases like Burkitt's lymphoma
- 33. The phase where most characteristic and severe symptoms present
Down
- 1. A test that measures the strength of antibody binding to an antigen, helping to differentiate between current and past infections
- 3. Other word for normal flora
- 7. A sexually transmitted infection caused by the bacterium Treponema pallidum
- 8. A protein complex that forms on the surface of cells targeted for lysis by the complement system
- 9. A protein that binds carbohydrates, such as mannose, and is involved in the lectin pathway of complement activation
- 11. The ability of a pathogen to establish an infection in a host
- 12. A type of white blood cell that is involved in innate immunity and phagocytosis
- 14. A technique that separates molecules based on size and charge, often used in Western blot analysis
- 16. A diagnostic test that detects the genetic material of a pathogen
- 17. A technology that analyzes cells based on their size, light scatter, and fluorescence, commonly used to quantify immune cell populations
- 18. A type of white blood cell that plays a crucial role in adaptive immunity, and can be further classified as helper or cytotoxic
- 20. The phase where symptoms subside, but host CAN still be infectious
- 21. The degree of pathogenicity, indicating the severity of a disease
- 25. A type of immunoassay that uses a solid phase to capture antibodies or antigens, commonly used in HIV testing
- 26. A virus that causes AIDS and targets CD4+ T cells
- 27. Disturbance of normal health of body
- 29. A system of over 30 plasma proteins that plays a key role in innate immunity
- 31. A cluster of differentiation marker that identifies T helper cells
