Can a witness plead the fifth before cross examination in a trial?

Let's say I take the stand in my own defense and tell the jury why I didn't do it, then before the prosecution cross-examines me, I plead the fifth and refuse to answer any more questions. Is this allowed?

Megathread the Fifth: Spread of the Wuhan Coronavirus

Sure, it has an official name of Covid-19 now, but the megathread title is now traditional.

Thread the first
Thread the second
Thread the third
Thread the fourth
Johns Hopkins data mapped by ArcGIS

Rule 13 remains in effect: any posts regarding the coronavirus should be directed here, and are liable to be removed if posted to the sub.

Edit: For those who find it concerning or confusing that talk about the Wuhanflu has been quarantined to a megathread, it should be noted that as mods we're taking this one week at a time like all of you guys, and a megathread is the best compromise we've found thus far between allowing for the collection of information related to this current outbreak, and letting discussion of other factors around collapse continue in the wider sub.

The rules are always under review, and rule 13 was instituted on a temporary basis; it may be adapted or removed as the situation evolves. We thank you for your understanding in this matter.
