|
single-organism process
|
A biological process that involves only one organism. |
|
GO:0008150
|
biological_process
|
Any process specifically pertinent to the functioning of integrated living units: cells, tissues, organs, and organisms. A process is a collection of molecular events with a defined beginning and end. |
|
GO:0050896
|
response to stimulus
|
Any process that results in a change in state or activity of a cell or an organism (in terms of movement, secretion, enzyme production, gene expression, etc.) as a result of a stimulus. The process begins with detection of the stimulus and ends with a change in state or activity or the cell or organism. |
|
GO:0002376
|
immune system process
|
Any process involved in the development or functioning of the immune system, an organismal system for calibrated responses to potential internal or invasive threats. |
|
GO:0001909
|
leukocyte mediated cytotoxicity
|
The directed killing of a target cell by a leukocyte. |
|
GO:0006955
|
immune response
|
Any immune system process that functions in the calibrated response of an organism to a potential internal or invasive threat. |
|
GO:0002460
|
adaptive immune response based on somatic recombination of immune receptors built from immunoglobulin superfamily domains
|
An immune response based on directed amplification of specific receptors for antigen produced through a somatic diversification process that includes somatic recombination of germline gene segments encoding immunoglobulin superfamily domains, and allowing for enhanced responses upon subsequent exposures to the same antigen (immunological memory). Recombined receptors for antigen encoded by immunoglobulin superfamily domains include T cell receptors and immunoglobulins (antibodies). An example of this is the adaptive immune response found in Mus musculus. |
|
GO:0002449
|
lymphocyte mediated immunity
|
Any process involved in the carrying out of an immune response by a lymphocyte. |
|
GO:0002443
|
leukocyte mediated immunity
|
Any process involved in the carrying out of an immune response by a leukocyte. |
|
GO:0001906
|
cell killing
|
Any process in an organism that results in the killing of its own cells or those of another organism, including in some cases the death of the other organism. Killing here refers to the induction of death in one cell by another cell, not cell-autonomous death due to internal or other environmental conditions. |
|
GO:0002252
|
immune effector process
|
Any process of the immune system that can potentially contribute to an immune response. |
|
GO:0002250
|
adaptive immune response
|
An immune response based on directed amplification of specific receptors for antigen produced through a somatic diversification process, and allowing for enhanced response to subsequent exposures to the same antigen (immunological memory). |
|
GO:0002456
|
T cell mediated immunity
|
Any process involved in the carrying out of an immune response by a T cell. |
|
GO:0001913
|
T cell mediated cytotoxicity
|
The directed killing of a target cell by a T cell through the release of granules containing cytotoxic mediators or through the engagement of death receptors. |
