Across
  1. 2. Any organism with the potential to cause an infection
  2. 3. Histamine causes
  3. 7. Signaling protein that induces a response
  4. 8. Immunoglobulin that helps activate B cells. Much of its function is unknown
  5. 9. Proteins produced by the liver that are key in signal cascades of the innate immune response
  6. 10. Will present antigen fragments to adaptive immune system
  7. 11. Really fast replication
  8. 13. The type of immunity that has a faster, generic response
  9. 14. What are helminths
  10. 15. Immunoglobulin in breast milk, protects GI tract of young animals from pathogens
  11. 16. Type of adaptive immunity in which B cells will produce antibodies against a specific antigen. Deals with feely circulating pathogens
  12. 18. Antibodies bind to binding sites on antigen, making it unable to bind with any body cell
  13. 19. Type of adaptive immunity that focuses on the destruction of infected cells by T cells
  14. 20. Type of innate immunity that produces a localized response
  15. 23. Cause of clumps of antigen, limiting their mobility
  16. 24. Immunoglobulin that deals with microbial infection and antigen invasion. Is that first antibody produced in response to antigen presence
  17. 25. Signaling proteins produced by macrophages that create a state of inflammation in an infected tissue
Down
  1. 1. Tags all of the cells in the body as 'good' or 'bad' (MHC)
  2. 4. Immunoglobulin that focuses on innate immunity, can pass thru the placenta, most plentiful antibody, detoxes, important for recognition of antigen-antibody complexes by neutrophils, macrophages
  3. 5. Type of innate immunity that recruits more cells (cytokines)
  4. 6. The body's ability to combat deviation from 'normal' through production of an effective and efficient immune response
  5. 8. The body's mechanism of maintaining homeostasis, distinguishing harmful from non-harmful organism, and producing an appropriate response
  6. 12. Has the ability to cause an immune response
  7. 17. Process of tagging a cell or antigen so it can be identified by the immune system
  8. 21. Immunoglobulin that deals with helminths and allergy response. Least common
  9. 22. The type of immunity that has a slower, more specific response. Causes a systemic whole body response
  10. 26. Produced by the body cells. Tags them as 'good'
