Down: 1) A transplant from one person to another, but not an identical twin; the transplant of an organ or tissue from one individual to another of the same species with a different genotype 2) A technique for studying reactions between antigens and antibodies by observing precipitates formed by the combination of specific antigens and antibodies that have diffused in a gel in which they have been separately placed 4) any substance capable of inducing a specific immune response and of reacting with the products of that response, i.e., with specific antibody or specifically sensitized T lymphocytes, or both.6) regulatory proteins, such as lymphokines and interleukins that are produced by immune system cells and act as intercellular mediators in the modulation of immune response 7) organ near the base of the neck that produces cells that fight infection 8) usually immobile but become actively mobile when stimulated by inflammation; they also interact with lymphocytes to facilitate antibody production.9) a fully differentiated lymphocyte in the B-cell (not the T-cell) lineage 10) a granular leukocyte having a nucleus with two lobes connected by a thread of chromatin, and cytoplasm containing coarse, round granules of uniform size.12) a protein secreted by cells of the immune system to help fight infection 15) used to detect and quantify specific antigen-eliciting molecules involved in biological processes, specifically processes related to cancer and autoimmune disorders 16) a granular leukocyte with an irregularly shaped, relatively pale-staining nucleus that is partially constricted into two lobes, and with cytoplasm containing coarse bluish-black granules of variable size.18) a tiny bean-shaped gland, located in many different areas of the body; an important part of your immune system; filters fluids, catching viruses, bacteria, and other unknown materials 20) A cell that can react against and destroy another cell without prior sensitization to it; part of our first line of defense against cancer cells and virus-infected cells 22) a protein secreted by cells of the immune system to help fight infection 25) binds to various invading microbes; composed of both heavy and light chain parts;forms the top half of the arms of the Y-shaped antibody 27) a mononuclear, nongranular leukocyte having a deeply staining nucleus containing dense chromatin and a pale-blue–staining cytoplasm 28) originate from lymphocytes that develop and are activated in the bone marrow; Secondary immune-system components that have an affinity for a particular antigen 29) a granular leukocyte having a nucleus with three to five lobes connected by threads of chromatin, and cytoplasm containing very fine granules 32) a generic term for a group of multifunctional cytokines that are produced by a variety of lymphoid and nonlymphoid cells and whose effects occur at least partly within the lymphopoietic system 35) is the zone of relatively high antibody concentrations within which no reaction occurs

Across: 3) almost colourless fluid that bathes body tissues and is found in the lymphatic vessels that drain the tissues of the fluid that filters across the blood vessel walls from blood; carries antibodies and lymphocytes 5) a group of special molecules on the surface of the cells in our body; most useful for classifying WBCs 11) A technique used to analyze an antigen-antibody mixture, in which the components are placed in multiple wells cut into agar on a flat slide and allowed to diffuse toward one another 13) the spongy tissue inside some of your bones, such as your hip and thigh bones 14) antibody that causes particulate antigens such as bacteria or other cells to clump together 17) a substance in blood serum acting on bacteria and foreign cells to make them more liable to destruction by phagocytes 19) a secondary immune response; occurs with a second or subsequent exposure to an antigen 21) does not change between the antibodies of a given type; made of both heavy and light chain components; extends from the base of the Y shape up to the bottom half of the arms; divide antibodies into five major classes: IgM, IgG, Iga, IgD and IgE 23) type of protein that is found on the outer surfaces of cells; made up of six antigens 24) is the large polypeptide subunit of a protein complex, such as a motor protein (e.g. myosin, kinesin, or dynein) or antibody (or immunoglobulin)26) small polypeptide subunit of a protein complex 30) Any of a group of glycoproteins that are produced by different cell types in response to various stimuli, such as exposure to viruses, and that block viral replication in newly infected cells and, in some cases, modulate specific cellular functions 31) A type of white blood cell derived from bone marrow; secrete antibody and have a number of other complex functions within the human immune system 33) the loss of or reduction in the usual response to a drug or other agent as a result of use or exposure over a prolonged period; immunologic unresponsiveness 34) digestive tract's immune system; works to protect the body from invasion; 70% of the body's immune system is found in the digestive tract 36) A type of white blood cell that is of key importance to the immune system and is at the core of adaptive immunity 37) A fundamental type of response by the body to disease and injury, a response characterized by the classical signs of heat (localized warmth), redness, and swelling.38) white cell, white blood cell; whose chief function is to protect the body against microorganisms causing disease and which may be classified in two main groups 39) a group of proteins that move freely through your bloodstream; proteins work with your immune system and play a role in the development of inflammation 40) is a cytokine which is involved in the inflammatory process
