Fluid that surrounds body cells

Question 2

Lymph nodes

Answer 2

Clusters of lymph tissue; produce lymphocytes, filter lymph, and trap harmful substances

Answer 8

Lymph tissue

Question 9

Question 10

Adaptive immunity

Answer 10

Active

Question 12

Natural immunity

Answer 12

Passive

Question 13

How do you acquire passive immunity?

Answer 13

Antitoxins, immunoglobulins, maternal antibodies

Question 14

Vaccines

Answer 14

Contain antigens from the patients tumor cells; stimulates T cells to kill cells active immunotherapy

Question 15

Dendritic cells

Answer 15

Cultured and exposed outside the body and reinfused

Question 16

Monoclonal antibodies (MoAb)

Answer 16

Multiple copies of cells/genes that kill tumor cells; passive immunotherapy

Question 17

Donor lymphocyte infusion

Answer 17

T cells attack tumor after infusion; passive immunotherapy
