2. Answer
One of the first lines of defense; it releases sweat, oils and waxes

3. Answer
These large white blood cells are front line defenders which attack pathogen infected cells, though they often take out surrounding cells in the process

4. Answer
Eukaryotic pathogens that invade a host

5. Answer
Response that involves Helper T-cells and Killer T-cells

6. Answer
Pathogen protein molecule that triggers an immune response

7. Daily Double
How much do you wish to wager?

8. Daily Double Answer
The white blood cells responsible for engulfing pathogens and releasing IL-1

9. Answer The protein released by macrophages
(also causes aches, pains, chills, fever and headaches)

10. Answer
Lymphocytes (WBCs) which bind to specific antigens displayed on macrophage cell surface

11. Answer
Stimulates division of Helper T-cells and B-cells and activates Killer T-cells

12. Answer
Macrophages and white blood cells capable of engulfing pathogens are known as this type of cell

13. Answer
Response that involves B-cells, antibodies, and memory B-cells

14. Answer
This first line of defense lines the mouth and nasal passages; it secretes mucus, which traps pathogens and contains enzymes that break down microorganisms

15. Answer
Protein markers on body cells that allow immune cells to recognize that cell as its own cell (and not a foreign invader)

16. Answer
Contains an inactivated or weakened pathogen to evoke a primary immune response and create memory cells

17. Answer
Destroy infected body cells in the cell mediated response by injecting toxins

18. Answer
These proteins bind to antigens on the surface of pathogens to inactivate them

19. Answer
These cells produce antibodies

20. Answer
These cells help provide quicker secondary immune response to future infections

21. Answer
The immune system responding to what is normally a harmless antigen

22. Answer
This class of disease is caused from the immune system mistakenly attacking the body’s own cells

23. Answer
Immune response is most closely associated with the function of this body system of vessels and organs

24. Answer
This second line defense response causes greater blood flow to a damaged area of the body

25. Answer
Interleukin can cause a fever by resetting the body’s thermostat located in this part of the brain

26. Answer
T-cells are produced in the bone marrow and mature in this organ

27. Answer
T-cells and B-cells are known as this type of white blood cell
