| DNAse i sensitivity | <molecular biology> The likelihood that a particular DNA segment will be attacked by the endonuclease enzyme DNase I, which breaks down DNA into smaller fragments by cleaving its phosphodiester bonds. DNA segments which contain active genes that are regularly transcribed are more prone to being cut apart by DNase I than inactivated genes, because the inactivated genes are generally within condensed regions of the chromosome, while the active genes are in more open configurations for easy access for transcription.

| idiosyncratic sensitivity | A type I allergic reaction (atopic). (05 Mar 2000) |
| induced sensitivity | 1. <immunology> A state of hypersensitivity induced by exposure to a particular antigen (allergen) resulting in harmful immunologic reactions on subsequent exposures, the term is usually used to refer to hypersensitivity to an environmental antigen (atopic allergy or contact dermatitis) or to drug allergy. The original meaning, now obsolete, included all states of altered immunologic reactivity, immunity as well as hypersensitivity. Gell and Coombs used the term allergic reaction to mean any harmful immunologic reaction causing tissue injury. 2. <study> The medical specialty dealing with diagnosis and treatment of allergic disorders.
