Agglutination - The clumping together of micro-organisms or cells, Antigen-Presenting Cell - Phagocytic cells that digest pathogens and present the antigen to lymphocytes, B-Cell - A type of lymphocyte that develops into either a plasma cell or a memory cell, Cell-Mediated Response - The part of the immune response in which T-cells attach to antigens to destroy them, Cytokines - Small proteins that are released from Helper T-cells that act as messagers in the immune response, Helper T-cell - A type of T-cell that enhanced antibody production by producing cytokines, Humoral Response - The part of the immune response in which B-cells produce antibodies to destroy antigens, Cytotoxic T-cell - A type of T lymphocyte able to kill cells that are damaged or infected by injecting them with cytotoxic chemicals, Leucocyte - A white blood cell, Lymphocyte - The type of white blood cell involved in specific immunity. 2 types: B and T, Macrophage - A phagocytic cell derived from a monocyte, Phagocyte - Cells that are able to engulf microorganisms, Plasma Cell - A cell that develops from B-cells and produces antibodies, Primary Response - The response of the immune system to the first exposure to an antigen, Secondary Response - The response to a second or subsequent exposure to an antigen. Faster and more intense than primary response, Supressor T-cell - A type of T-cell that helps to slow down the immune response, T-cell - A lymphocyte that can differentiate into cytotoxic, helper, suppressor or memory cells,
