Tolerance Diminished or absent capacity to make a specific response to an antigen, usually produced as a result of contact with that antigen under nonimmunizing conditions.
RELATED TERMS--------------------------------------
Antigen
A substance which, when present in animal tissue, stimulates the production of antibodies
SIMILAR TERMS--------------------------------------

Tolectin 600
