  1. 2. Type of adaptive immunity that uses antigen-antibody interactions to neutralize, eliminate, or destroy foreign proteins; also known as humeral immunity.
  2. 3. Invasion of pathogens into the body that multiply and cause disease or illness.
  3. 4. Type of immunity that is present at birth.
  4. 5. Protection from illness or disease that is maintained by the body’s physiologic defense mechanisms.
  5. 7. Second part of the immune system; provides a specific response when the body is exposed to microbes or chemicals.
  6. 8. Increased number of circulating neutrophils.
  7. 9. Small hormonelike proteins produced by the many leukocytes (and some other tissues) that help modify inflammation and immunity.
  8. 13. Type of adaptive immunity that is provided by lymphocyte stem cells that mature in the secondary lymphoid tissues.
  9. 14. White blood cells (WBCs).
  10. 15. Immunoglobulin produced by sensitized B lymphocytes (plasma cells or memory cells) that bind to a specific antigen.
  11. 17. Immunity gained after an antigen enters the body naturally and the body responds by actively making antibodies against that antigen.
  12. 18. Type of immunity gained following injection of antibodies created in one person or animal into someone without those antibodies.
  13. 21. Unique surface proteins that present on all of a person’s cells that are specific to that person. Also known as a person’s tissue type.
  14. 22. The special ability of immune system cells to recognize self versus non-self and avoid actions that would harm self cells.
  15. 23. Immature undifferentiated cells produced in the bone marrow that are pluripotent with the potential to mature into any blood cell type.
  16. 24. A sensitized B lymphocyte that immediately starts to produce antibodies against the sensitizing antigen.
  17. 25. Type of immunity that occurs when the body is exposed to a disease organism through infection, and the immune systems produces antibodies to that disease.
  18. 26. Cellular engulfment and destruction of invading microorganisms and debris.
  19. 27. Red blood cells (RBCs).

  1. 1. Type of immunity gained when a killed or weakened form of a disease organism is introduced into the body through vaccination. Also known as vaccine-induced active immunity.
  2. 6. Having maximum protection against infection.
  3. 7. Proteins (usually) considered as non-self by a person’s immune system that will stimulate the immune system to have an immunity response and make antibodies directed against the antigen.
  4. 10. A sensitized B lymphocyte that produces specific antibodies on all subsequent exposures to the initial sensitizing antigen.
  5. 11. passive immunity    Immunity gained when antibodies are passed from a mother to the fetus via the placenta or to the infant via colostrum or breast milk.
  6. 12. A syndrome of normal tissue responses to cellular injury, allergy, or invasion by pathogens.
  7. 16. immunity    Type of immunity that develops when people are given antibodies to a disease after first being made in the body of another human or animal instead of producing them within their own immune system.
  8. 19. First part of the body’s immune system; provides a nonspecific, quick action in response to an invading organism.
  9. 20. Type of immunity acquired via antibody-mediated immunity (AMI) or cell-mediated immunity (CMI); also called acquired immunity.
