diminution of response to a stimulus after prolonged exposure
Define:
immunity
the condition of being immune;

AIDS
Acquired immune deficiency syndrome
Define:
bone marrow biopsy
A procedure in which cellular material is removed from the pelvis or breastbone and examined under a microscope to look for the presence of abnormal blood cells characteristic of specific forms of leukemia and lymphoma.
Define:
allergy
a hypersensitive state acquired through exposure to a particular allergen, reexposure bringing to light an altered capacity to react
Define:
immunoglobulins
Any of several types of globulin proteins that function as antibodies.
