___ immunity describes immunity brought about by protective molecules called antibodies
Humoral
_ cells mature in bone marrow
B
_ cells/lymphocytes remove viruses, bacteria, and toxins from body tissue fluids and blood by recognizing antigens and making antibodies against them
B
Cellular immunity is due to _ cells
T
_ cells mature in the thymus
T
___ (Ag): a substance that causes body to procure specific antibodies or sensitized T cells
Antigen
Antibodies recognize and interact with specific regions on antigens called epitopes or _____ _____
Antigenic determinants
