interferons
cytokines that make a cells and its neighbors resistant to virus infection are called
adaptive immunity
defense of the body against a particular pathogen is provided by
interleukins
hormones that regulate the activity of b and t cells and enhance nonspecific defense are called
Cell mediated immunity
if a virus attacks a cell, which type of immunity would be activated
naturally acquired active
immunity that results from exposure to an antigen in the environment is called _____ immunity
IgA
immunoglobulins that are primarily found in glandular secretions such as saliva and tears
IgM
immunoglobulins that are the first antibody to be produced in response to infection

the primary function of the lymphatic system is
neutralization
the process by which antibodies bind to antigenic sites on viruses or toxins, rendering them incapable of binding to other cells is
opsonization
the process by which the surface of a microorganism is covered with antibodies and complement, rendering it more likely to be phagocytized
