IPA: /ɪˌmjuːnəˈkɛmɪstri/
KK: /ɪˌmjunəˈkɛmɪstri/
Definition: A field of science that studies the chemical processes and reactions involving the immune system, particularly how antibodies interact with antigens.
Example: Immunochemistry is essential for developing vaccines and understanding immune responses.
IPA: /ˌɪm.juː.nəˈkɒm.pɪ.tənt/
KK: /ɪˌmjunəˈkɑmpɪtənt/
Definition: Having the ability to respond effectively to infections and diseases due to a properly functioning immune system.
Example: People who are immunocompetent can usually fight off infections more easily than those who are not.
IPA: /ˌɪmjunəˈdɪfɪʃənt/
KK: /ɪˌmjunəˈdɪfɪʃənt/
Definition: Having a weakened immune system that makes it difficult for the body to fight off infections and diseases.
Example: People who are immunodeficient are more susceptible to infections.
IPA: /ˌɪmjunədaɪəgˈnoʊsɪs/
KK: /ɪˌmjunədaɪəgˈnoʊsɪs/
Definition: A method of diagnosing diseases by testing for reactions between antigens and antibodies in blood serum.
Example: The doctor used immunodiagnosis to determine the presence of the disease in the patient.
IPA: /ˌɪm.juː.nəˈdɪf.juː.ʒən/
KK: /ɪˌmjunəˈdɪfjuːʒən/
Definition: A method used to identify the interaction between a substance that triggers an immune response and a protein that helps fight infections by watching how they move through a gel.
Example: The scientist used immunodiffusion to analyze the presence of specific antibodies in the sample.
IPA: /ˌɪm.jʊˈnəʊ.dʒən/
KK: /ɪˈmjunəˌdʒɛn/
Definition: A substance that triggers the body's immune system to respond, often by producing antibodies.
Example: Vaccines often contain an immunogen to help the body recognize and fight off diseases.
IPA: /ˌɪmjunəʊdʒəˈnɛtɪk/
KK: /ɪˌmjunəʊdʒəˈnɛtɪk/
Definition: Related to the study of how genes affect the immune system and its responses.
Example: The research focused on immunogenetic factors that influence vaccine effectiveness.
IPA: /ˌɪmjunəʊdʒəˈnɛtɪks/
KK: /ɪˌmjunəʊdʒəˈnɛtɪks/
Definition: This is a field of study that focuses on how genetics and the immune system interact, particularly how genes influence the body's ability to fight diseases.
Example: Researchers in immunogenetics are exploring how genetic variations affect immune responses to vaccines.
IPA: /ˌɪmjunəˈdʒɛnɪk/
KK: /ɪˌmjunəˈdʒɛnɪk/
Definition: Able to cause the body to produce an immune response, often related to substances that can trigger the immune system.
Example: The vaccine is designed to be highly immunogenic, ensuring a strong immune response.
IPA: /ˌɪmjunəˈdʒɛnɪsɪti/
KK: /ɪˌmjunəˈdʒɛnɪsɪti/
Definition: The ability of a substance to trigger a response from the immune system.
Example: The immunogenicity of the vaccine was tested in clinical trials.
