  Auteur : Université de Montréal, 1986

  Définition

  An immunological response characterized by the development of specific nonreactivity of lymphoid tissues to a particular antigen capable under other conditions of inducing humoral or cell-mediated immunity.

  Note :

  The distinction between "tolerance" and "paralysis" dates from the time when this was not properly understood, and in view of the similarity that has now been established the distinction in name has been withdrawn, and the terms "tolerance" and "paralysis" can therefore be used interchangeable.

  Termes :

  1. immunological tolerance
  2. immune tolerance
  3. immunotolerance
  4. immunologic tolerance
  5. immunological paralysis
