• Active immunity [r]: The state in which a host maintains an enhanced immunity|immune response]] to a particular disease, triggered either by having had the disease or by receiving antigens for it. ^[e]
• Albuterol [r]: A short-acting adrenergic beta-agonist, usually inhaled but also administered by the oral route ^[e]
• Anaphylaxis [r]: An acute allergic reaction caused by exposure to an antigen to which the patient is hypersensitive. ^[e]
• Autoimmunity [r]: The failure of an organism to recognize its own constituent parts (down to the sub-molecular levels) as "self", which results in an immune response against its own cells and tissues. ^[e]
• Bacterial cell structure [r]: Morphological and genetic features of unicellular prokaryotic organisms characterized by the lack of a membrane-bound nucleus and membrane-bound organelles. ^[e]
• Bacteriophage experimental evolution [r]: Method of testing evolutionary theory under carefully designed, reproducible experiments using bacteriophages. ^[e]
• Blood cross-matching [r]: Test for incompatibility between donor and recipient blood, carried out prior to transfusion to avoid potentially lethal haemolytic reactions. ^[e]
• Coombs' test [r]: Haemagglutination test in which coombs' reagent is added to detect incomplete antibodies coating erythrocytes. ^[e]
• Ebola [r]: A virus that causes severe hemhorragic fever and often death, that is easily spread. ^[e]
• Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay [r]: Immunoassay utilizing an antibody labelled with an enzyme marker such as horseradish peroxidase. ^[e]
• Fluorescent antibody technique [r]: Either of two techniques (direct or indirect) used to test for antigen with a fluorescent antibody. ^[e]
• HIV test [r]: Tests used to detect the presence of the human immunodeficiency virus in serum, saliva, or urine, to detect HIV antibodies, antigens, or RNA. ^[e]
• Halobacterium NRC-1 [r]: A microorganism from the Archaea kingdom perfectly suited for life in highly saline environments giving biologists an ideal specimen for genetic studies. ^[e]
• Hemagglutination test [r]: Sensitive tests to measure certain antigens, antibodies, or viruses, using their ability to agglutinate certain erythrocytes. ^[e]
• Homeopathy [r]: System of alternative medicine involving administration of highly diluted substances with the intention to stimulate the body's natural healing processes, not considered proven by mainstream science. ^[e]
• Hypersensitivity [r]: In medicine, an altered reactivity to an antigen, which can result in pathologic reactions upon subsequent exposure to that particular antigen. ^[e]
• Immediate hypersensitivity [r]: Humoral reaction, mediated by the circulating B lymphocytes, which causes any of three responses: anaphylactic, cytotoxic, and immune system hypersensitivity. ^[e]
• Immunoassay [r]: Technique that makes use of the binding between an antigen and its homologous antibody in order to identify and quantify the specific antigen or antibody in a sample. ^[e]
• Immunoglobulin [r]: Proteins produced by lymphocytes, which are primarily antibodies to attack material the body considers hostile, although some may act as cytokines, signaling to other cells ^[e]
• Immunologic test [r]: Any test that uses immunologic techniques. ^[e]
• Immunology [r]: The study of all aspects of the immune system in all animals. ^[e]
• Immunosorbent technique [r]: Sensitive immunoassay that uses an enzyme linked to an antibody or antigen as a marker for the detection of a specific protein, especially an antigen or antibody. ^[e]
• Infectious disease [r]: In broad terms, diseases caused by living organisms; also a subspecialty of internal medicine concerned with the treatment of such diseases ^[e]
• Intelligent design movement [r]: American political movement advocating a form of creationism and "doubts about Darwin". ^[e]
