WHAT DOES IMMUNOSUPPRESSION MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Immunosuppression

Immunosuppression involves an act that reduces the activation or efficacy of the immune system. Some portions of the immune system itself have immuno-suppressive effects on other parts of the immune system, and immunosuppression may occur as an adverse reaction to treatment of other conditions. In general, deliberately induced immunosuppression is performed to prevent the body from rejecting an organ transplant, treating graft-versus-host disease after a bone marrow transplant, or for the treatment of auto-immune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis or Crohn's disease. This is typically done using drugs, but may involve surgery, plasmapharesis, or radiation. A person who is undergoing immunosuppression, or whose immune system is weak for other reasons, is said to be immunocompromised. An immunosuppressant is any agent that causes immunosuppression, including immunosuppressive drugs and some environmental toxins.

Definition of immunosuppression in the English dictionary
