|
defense response
|
Reactions, triggered in response to the presence of a foreign body or the occurrence of an injury, which result in restriction of damage to the organism attacked or prevention/recovery from the infection caused by the attack. |
|
GO:0006950
|
response to stress
|
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 disturbance in organismal or cellular homeostasis, usually, but not necessarily, exogenous (e.g. temperature, humidity, ionizing radiation). |
|
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:0045087
|
innate immune response
|
Innate immune responses are defense responses mediated by germline encoded components that directly recognize components of potential pathogens. |
|
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:0044699
|
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: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:0002252
|
immune effector process
|
Any process of the immune system that can potentially contribute to an immune response. |
|
GO:0002228
|
natural killer cell mediated immunity
|
The promotion of an immune response by natural killer cells through direct recognition of target cells or through the release of cytokines. |
|
GO:0042267
|
natural killer cell mediated cytotoxicity
|
The directed killing of a target cell by a natural killer cell through the release of granules containing cytotoxic mediators or through the engagement of death receptors. |
