Across
- 7. Its function is to remove debris from the lymph and to provide a site for cloning and multiplication of lymphocytes.
- 9. Mount cell-mediated immunity. Attack virus-infected cells, tumor cells, bacteria, etc. Also activate B cells and enhance the migration of other WBCs into the area to help destroy antigens.

Down
- 1. Response that recognizes and mounts an attack on antigens previously encountered
- 2. A molecule capable of provoking an immune response.
- 3. Its function is to pick up and return excess tissue fluid (and leaked proteins) to the blood vascular system.
- 4. An inability of the immune system to recognize self, resulting in attack of self cells by the immune system
- 5. Upon antigen challenge, they clone to produce daughter cells, most of which are plasma cells that release antibodies to the blood. (Humoral response.)
- 6. Leaked plasma (but contains fewer proteins).
- 8. A protein produced by plasma cells that interacts with a particular antigen to form a complex.
