Across
- 3. most abundant type of granulocytes
- 7. specialized cells involved in the detection, phagocytosis and destruction of bacteria and other harmful organisms
- 9. ensures that each antibody generates an appropriate immune response for a given antigen, and the constant region which determines how the antibody will function
- 11. restrains the immune system from overreacting
- 12. use their hydrolytic enzymes to destroy pathogens
- 14. where white blood cells are formed
- 15. found on surface of pathogens, and aids in colonizing and invading hosts
- 16. substance that is capable of stimulating an immune response, specifically activating lymphocytes
Down
- 1. region on an antibody that binds to antigens
- 2. recruited by macrophages and are part of the innate immune system that serve to contain viral infections
- 4. important cells in adaptive immunity; help activate B cells to secrete antibodies and macrophages; activate cytotoxic T cells to kill infected target cells
- 5. found in bone marrow and eventually becomes monocytes and three other forms of granular leukocytes
- 6. process by which certain living cells called phagocytes ingest or engulf other cells or particles
- 8. mature into monocytes which eventually become macrophages
- 10. physiologic role in initiating the adhesion of leukocytes and platelets during the inflammatory and hemostatic responses
- 13. regulate cellular growth, proliferation, migration, signaling, and cytokine activation
