Across
- 3. the aspect of adaptive immunity that involves macromolecules such as antibodies and complement proteins
- 5. a number of immune substances that are secreted by immune cells and cause an effect on other cells
- 8. the process by which a cell uses its plasma membrane to engulf (for example bacteria)
- 9. an organelle in the cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells containing degradative enzymes enclosed in a membrane
- 10. part of the immune system that enhances the ability of antibodies and phagocytes to clear microbes and damaged cells from an organism, promote inflammation, and attack the pathogen's cell membrane
- 14. a large white blood cell that engulfs, kills and presents antigens
- 15. this subset of T-cells are activated through MHC 1 and can kill virally-infected or malignant self-cells
- 16. this white blood cell is the first to show up at a site of infection, and contains granules
- 17. a group of signaling proteins that are released by host cells in response to viral infection
Down
- 1. this part of the immune system begins immediately after recognizing a foreign entity
- 2. a vacuole in the cytoplasm of a cell, containing a phagocytosed particle enclosed within a part of the cell membrane
- 4. this subset of T-cells can help activate B-cells, leading to antibody production
- 6. the event by which a microbe is coated with a substance (for example antibodies) that will enhance detection and killing by immune cells
- 7. a subtype of a white blood cell that has a single, large nucleus
- 11. this part of the immune system takes days to begin
- 12. a class of immune substances that attract white blood cells to the site of infection
- 13. a protein produced in response to and counteracting a specific antigen
