Biology; Immunology
Genes and their products which are critically involved in V(D)J recombination in B and T cells.
rapamycin
Biology; Immunology
An immunosuppressive agent used to prevent transplantation rejection; blocks cytokine production.
receptor
Biology; Immunology
Generally a transmembrane molecule that binds to a ligand on the exterior surface of the cell, leading to biochemical changes inside the cell.
receptor editing
Biology; Immunology
Process by which the rearranged genes of a cell in the B-cell lineage may undergo a secondary rearrangement, generating a different antigenic specificity.
repertoire
Biology; Immunology
The complete library of antigenic specificities generated by either B or T lymphocytes to respond to foreign antigen.
reticuloendothelial system (RES)
Biology; Immunology
A general term for the network of phagocytic cells.
