Across
- 1. White blood cell that engulfs and digests pathogens (phagocytosis).
- 5. Antibodies clumping pathogens together for easier phagocytosis.
- 7. Antibodies produced from a single clone of B-cells, identical in structure.
- 9. Type of immunity where antibodies are acquired from another source (e.g., mother to baby, monoclonal antibodies).
- 10. Type of immunity where the body produces its own antibodies (natural exposure or vaccination).
- 12. Long-lived cells (B or T) that remain after infection for a rapid secondary response.
- 13. Mature in the thymus; involved in cellular response (killing infected cells, activating B-cells).
Down
- 2. Y-shaped glycoprotein (immunoglobin) produced by B-cells that binds to specific antigens.
- 3. Microorganism that causes disease.
- 4. Introduction of antigens to stimulate an immune response and create memory cells.
- 5. Specific protein/molecule on a cell surface triggering an immune response.
- 6. Mature in bone marrow; produce antibodies (humoral response).
- 8. White blood cells involved in specific immunity (T-cells and B-cells).
- 11. Cloned B-cells that produce antibodies.
