  1. 4. White blood cells encapsulate M. tuberculosis, to form a ___________, which may have necrosis at the centre.
  2. 6. Class switching occurs in activated B cell that is ________________ and in memory B cells,
  3. 8. Naturally acquired _________ immunity occurs when a pregnant woman’s antibodies cross the placenta to the foetus.
  4. 10. Process of artificially inducing immunity (to result in the production of memory B and memory T cells specific for that pathogen).
  5. 13. Natural _________ cells circulate throughout the body to recognize an abnormal array of surface proteins characteristic of virus-infected and cancer cells and release chemicals that leads to cell death.
  6. 14. Bonds between chains in antibodies link the heavy and light chains together
  7. 15. Both T and B lymphocytes arise from lymphoid ______ cells in the bone marrow. Constant The ____________ region of antibody determines the class of antibody and allows for binding to phagocyte.
Down
  1. 1. Somatic ________________ gives rise to slightly different light and heavy chain variable regions to allow for better binding to the same antigen.
  2. 2. Antibodies are secreted by ____________ cells.
  3. 3. ______________ cells contain receptors which can bind to pathogen to engulf the pathogen and antigens are processed and displayed on major histocompatibility complexes (MHC) – class II molecules.
  4. 5. Binding of antibodies to antigens on the surface of pathogen promotes phagocytosis by phagocytes.
  5. 7. Passive immunity, antibodies from another source, which are raised against a particular ___________ are injected into an organism.
  6. 9. Different combinations of VJ / VDJ gene segments can occur during ___________ recombination, giving rise to different light and heavy chain variable regions.
  7. 11. Penicillin acts as a competitive inhibitor of bacterial transpeptidases, but binds _______________ to the active site of enzyme.
  8. 12. Chloroamphenicol targets and binds to bacterial ___________, inhibiting peptidyltransferase.
