Across
- 2. Most abundant circulating leukocyte; short-lived phagocyte, main cell for bacterial infection clearance.
- 5. White blood cell; includes all immune cells (lymphocytes, myeloid cells).
- 7. Soluble or membrane glycoprotein produced by B lineage cells; binds specific antigen.
- 9. An antigen that can activate lymphocytes and trigger an adaptive immune response.
- 10. Any substance that can be recognized by lymphocyte receptors and induce an immune response.
- 11. The discrete molecular region on an antigen bound by TCR or BCR/antibody.
- 12. Mononuclear leukocyte, including T cells, B cells, NK cells; core cells of adaptive immunity.
Down
- 1. immunity Antigen-specific immune response mediated by T and B lymphocytes; forms immunological memory.
- 3. Defect in immune system function leading to increased susceptibility to infection.
- 4. Soluble signaling protein secreted by immune cells, regulates cell growth, activation and communication.
- 6. Tissue-resident phagocyte derived from monocyte; phagocytoses pathogens, debris and presents antigen.
- 8. immunity Germline-encoded, rapid, non-specific host defense; no memory response.
