AN ANTIGEN THAT PRODUCES ALLERGIC REACTIONS. ANY MICROSCOPIC PARTICLE THAT CAUSES AN ALLERGIC REACTION
|
ALLERGEN
|
|
|
ANY OF A VARIETY OF Y SHAPED PROTEINS IN THE BLOOD THAT ARE GENREATED TO PRODUCE IMMUNITY AGAINST SPECIFIC ANTIGENS LIKE MICROORGANISMS OR THEIR TOXINS
|
ANTIBODY
|
|
|
DISEASE CAUSING ORGANISM OR SUBSTANCE

|
COMPLEMENT CASCADE
|
|
|
SUBSTANCE LIKE STERIODS AND CORTICOSTERIODS IN THE BODY THAT CAN SUPRESS THE IMMUNE SYSTEM
|
HORMONE
|
|
|
IMMUNE PROTECTION PROVIDED BY SOLUBE FACTORS SUCH AS ANTIBODIES WHICH CIRCULATE IN THE BODYS FLUIDS OR HUMORS PRIMARILY SERUM AND LYMPH
|

IMMUNE RESPONSE
|
|
|
RELATIVE STATE OF RESISTANCE OF THE HOST TO A SPECIFIC PATHOGENS
|
IMMUNITY
|
|
|
A TEST USING ANTIBODIES TO IDENTIFY AND QUANTIFY SUBSTANCES. OFTEN THE ANTIBODY IS LINKED TO A MARKER SUCH AS A FLUROSCENT MOLECULE, A RADIOACTIVE MOLECULE OR AN ENYZME
|
IMMUNOASSAY
|
|
|
A DEFENSE MECHANISM THAT MUST BE TURNED ON BY THE HOSTS EXPOSURE TO A PATHOGEN. INDUCED DEFENSES ARE ACQUIRED THROUGH EXPOSURE TO PATHOGENS AND BUILD THROUGHOUT LIFE

MONOCLONAL ANTIBODIES
|
|
|
IMMUNITY CONFERRED BY AN ANTIBODY PRODUCED IN ANOTHER HOST. THIS TYPE OF IMMUNITY CAN BE ACQUIRED NATURALLY BY AN INFANT FROM ITS MOTHER OR ARTIFICALLY BY ADMINISTRATION OF AN ANTIBODY CONTAINING PREPARTION
|
PASSIVE IMMUNITY
|
|
|
SUBSTANCE COMPOSED OF DEAD WHITE BLOOD CELLS AND OTHER CELLULAR DEBRIS
|
PUS
