Answer 6

humoral immunity

Question 7

In cell-mediated immunity, it’s the __ __ that respond directly to antigens. A cell-mediated response involves destruction of the target cells through lymph proteins called __.

Answer 7

T cells
lymphokines

Question 8

Answer 8

Lymphokines

Question 9

Answer 11

macrophages
neutrophils

Question 12

cell-mediated immunity: Once T cells recognize the antigen ( with their __ __), they begin to multiple - a process called __ __

Answer 12

specificity sensors
clonal expansion
