immunologic tolerance (medicine) and Bursa (health)


immunologic tolerance (medicine)


immunologic tolerance
Lack of immune response to antigen. Theories of tolerance induction include clonal deletion and clonal anergy. In clonal deletion, the actual clone of cells is eliminated whereas in clonal anergy the cells are present but nonfunctional.

Synonym: immunological tolerance, immunotolerance, nonresponder tolerance.


Bursa (health)


A fluid-filled sac. They are found between tissue planes where shearing forces may act - e.g. at the knee and elbow. They are lined by synovium and contain synovial fluid - like the joint. Bursitis occurs when they are inflamed.
