| immunologic diseases | Disorders caused by abnormal or absent immunologic mechanisms, whether humoral, cell-mediated or both. (12 Dec 1998) |
|---|---|
| immunologic factors | Biologically active substances whose activities affect or play a role in the functioning of the immune system. (12 Dec 1998) |
| immunologic high dose tolerance | Induction of tolerance by exposure to large amounts of protein antigens. (05 Mar 2000) |
| immunologic memory | <immunology> The ability to rapidly produce large quantities of specific immune cells after subsequent exposure to a previously encountered antigen. (09 Oct 1997) |
| immunologic pregnancy test | A general term for test's for detection of increased human chorionic gonadotropin in plasma or urine by immunologic techniques including latex particle agglutination, haemagglutination inhibition, radioimmunoassay, and radioreceptor assays. (05 Mar 2000) |
| immunologic surveillance | The theory that T-cells monitor cell surfaces and detect structural changes in the plasma membrane and/or surface antigens of virally or neoplastically transformed cells. (12 Dec 1998) |
| immunologic tests | Diagnostic techniques involving the demonstration or measurement of an immune response, including antibody production or assay, antigen-antibody reactions, serologic cross-reactivity, delayed hypersensitivity reactions, or heterogenetic responses. (12 Dec 1998) |
| immunologic tolerance | Lack of immune response to antigen. Theories of tolerance induction include clonal deletion and clonal anergy. In clonal deletion, the actual clone of cells is eliminated whereas in clonal anergy the cells are present but nonfunctional. Synonym: immunological tolerance, immunotolerance, nonresponder tolerance. (05 Mar 2000) |
