Across
- 3. the production of antibodies by a person in response to exposure to a particular antigen
- 4. soluble antigens derived from the causative agents of diseases that are administered to individuals, providing them with protection
- 7. the deliberate administration of disabled antigens to elicit the production of antibodies
- 8. the ability to recognise and respond to a specific antigen
- 10. a form of immunity in which an individual receives antibodies from a natural means, such as through breastfeeding
- 11. the rapid production of high levels of specific antibodies to a foreign antigen that occurs in a person who was previously exposed to the same antigen
- 13. antigen-binding proteins produced by B cells and released in blood and lymph
- 14. a form of specific immunity in which antibodies are produced or obtained through natural means
- 15. inactivated toxins used for active immunisation
Down
- 1. the type of immunity that is present from birth, is fast acting but not long lasting, and produces non-specific (generic) responses against classes of pathogens
- 2. the administration of antibodies to provide an immediate, specific immune response
- 5. proteins produced by plasma cells in response to antigens and which react specifically with the antigen that induced their formation; also called immunoglobulins
- 6. an artificially active process in which an individual is injected with either antigens or weakened pathogens in order to produce their own antibodies and memory cells
- 9. production of antibodies induced in an individual by the first exposure to an antigen
- 12. an immunity that develops during a person’s lifetime
