These stains are based on antibodies which will bind to specific antigens, usually of protein or glycoprotein origin: hence the presence or distribution of particular molecules in the sample can be studied. Once all antibod..
Immunophenotyping
Immunophenotyping involves the labelling of white blood cells with antibodies directed against surface proteins on their membrane. By choosing appropriate antibodies, the origin of leukemic cells can be accurately determined. The labelled cells are processed in a flow cytometer, which a laser based..
Immunophilins
Immunophilins are peptidyl-prolyl isomerases that intraconvert between the cis and trans positions. See also Cyclophilin External links MeSH [Immunophilins]["Plant immunophilins and signal transduction" at berkeley.edu] ..
Immunoprecipitation
Immunoprecipitation (IP) is the technique of precipitating an antigen out of solution using an antibody specific to that antigen. This process can be used to identify protein complexes present in cell extracts, by targeting a protein believed to be in the complex. The complexes are brought out of so..
Immunoproliferative disorders
Immunoproliferative disorders (or "immunoproliferative diseases", or "immunoproliferative neoplasms") are a group of conditions affecting the immune system where there is overproduction of immunoglobulins or pluripotential hemopoietic stem cell or by abnormal proliferation of primary cells. An exa..
Immunoscreening
Immunoscreening is a method of biotechnology to detect a polypeptide produced from a cloned gene. See also ELISABlots ..
Immunostaining
Immunostaining is a general term in biochemistry in that applies to any use of an antibody and some colouring agent to detect a specific protein in a sample. The most common applications are after gel electrophoresis or within tissue slices in immunohistochemical staining. Antibodies that detect th..
Immunostimulator
Immunostimulators are the drugs which stimulate the immune system by inducing activation or increasing activity of any of its components. There are two main categories of immunostimulators: Specific immunostimulators are those which provide antigenic specificity in immune response, such as vaccine..
Immunosuppression
Immunosuppression involves an act that reduces the activation or efficacy of the immune system. Some portions of the immune system itself have immuno-supressive effects on other parts of the immune system, but medically induced immuno-suppression is carried out via drugs. This is usually done to pre..
Immunosuppressive agents
Immunosuppressive agents are a class of drugs which act to suppress the normal activity of the immune system. They are frequently used to prevent rejection of organs after organ transplant and also in the treatment of autoimmune disorders. Examples include azathioprine, 6-mercaptopurine, Prednisone,..
Immunosuppressive drug
For a list of immunosuppressive drugs, see the transplant rejection page. Immunosuppressive drugs or immunosuppressants are drugs that are used in immunosuppressive therapy to inhibit or prevent activity of the immune system. Clinically they are used to: prevent the rejection of transplanted organs..
Immunotherapy
Immunotherapy is a form of medical treatment based upon the concept of modulating the immune system to achieve a therapeutic goal. Contents 1 Activation1.1 Cancer1.2 Vaccination2 Suppression2.1 Allergies Activation Cancer Cancer immunotherapy attempts to stimulate the..
Immunotoxin
An immunotoxin is a chemical that can cause immune system malfunction with exposure. When the immune system function is suppressed (immunosuppression) there is an increased susceptibility to infectious diseases and cancers. Polychlorinated-biphenyls (PCB), asbestos and herbicide DDT are known immuno..

Immunological electronics - the design of electronic systems inspired by the natural immune system. Related areas: Embryonics (embryological electronics), and evolvable hardware ..
Immurement
Immurement is capital punishment by entombing for life. A famous case has transpired in ancient Rome, where a Vestal Virgin convicted of violating her vows of celibacy was buried alive in a tomb containing a small amount of bread and water, ostensibly so that the goddess Vesta could save her shoul..
Immutability
Immutability is the doctrine of classical Christian theism that God cannot change; this has been variously interpreted to mean either that God's nature cannot change but that God can, or that God himself cannot change at all. ..
Immutable object
In object-oriented computer programming, an immutable object is an object whose state cannot be modified after it is created. This is in contrast to a mutable object, which can be modified after it is created. An object can be either entirely immutable or some attributes in the object may be declare..
