T-dependent antigen
An immunogen that is able to induce antibody synthesis only in the presence of lymphokines released by helper T cells.
T-independent antigen
An immunogen which induces antibody synthesis in the absence of lymphokines released by T cells; the antibodies are generally only of the IgM isotype.
Titre
The reciprocal of the last dilution of a titration giving a measurable effect; e.g. if the last dilution giving significant agglutination is 1:128, the titre is 128.
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.
