humanization
Biology; Immunology
Refers to the genetic engineering by which mouse V(D)J region genes defining a particular antigenic specificity are combined with human genes coding for the rest of the Ig ...
humoral immunity
Biology; Immunology
refers to immune responses that involve antibody (contrast with cell-mediated immunity: T-cell responses in the absence of antibody). Can be transferred to another individual ...
dendritic cells
Biology; Immunology
Interdigitating reticular cells, derived from bone-marrow precursors, that are found in T-cell areas of lymphoid tissues. They have a branched or dendritic morphology and are the ...
desensitization
Biology; Immunology
A procedure in which allergic individuals are exposed to increasing doses of allergen with the goal of inhibiting their allergic reactions. The mechanism responsible for this ...
determinant
Biology; Immunology
Part of the antigen molecule that binds to an antibody-combining site or to a receptor on T cells; also termed epitope.
diapedesis
Biology; Immunology
is the movement of blood cells, particularly leukocytes, from the blood across blood vessel walls into tissues.
differentiation antigen
Biology; Immunology
A cell-surface antigenic determinant found only on cells of a certain lineage and at a particular developmental stage; used as an immunologic marker.
