'environmental immunity' is a correct and usable phrase in written English.
It can be used to refer to a situation in which an organism is able to withstand potentially harmful environmental conditions. For example, "Many species of amphibians have developed environmental immunity to survive in polluted bodies of water."
G protein−coupled receptors (GPCRs) are responsible for a diversity of cell functions, including environmental sensing, metabolism, immunity, growth, and development in eukaryotic cells (Bock et al. 2014; Chini et al. 2013).
Why some infants develop bronchiolitis when exposed to respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is poorly understood, and several aspects of environmental and host immunity have been extensively studied [ 1, 2].
RA is an extremely complex disease, with an etiology involving the interplay of (at least) genetic predisposition, environmental factors, and immunity to self molecules made immunogenic by posttranslational modification [ 33].
Several factors are probably contributing to the high incidence of TB in Kikori including: delayed presentation, difficulties in managing patient follow-up, infectious burden, and the interplay between local environmental factors and immunity.
They may rather be attributable to advances in laboratory culture and molecular speciation methods, increasing awareness, increasing environmental exposure, decreasing immunity to mycobacteria and/or aging and increasingly prevalent susceptible populations [ 4, 10, 12, 24].
On this model, selective pressure driven by other environmental pathogens, acting on immunity related genes, shapes mosquito immune mechanisms that can also be addressed against P. falciparum, in turn enhancing or decreasing malaria transmission.
Currently, IBD is presumed to be a result of the complex effect of genetic factors, microbial agents, humoral immunity and environmental factors.
Consisting of functionally specialized subsets, they form a complex cellular network capable of integrating multiple environmental signals leading to immunity or tolerance.
They respond to a wide variety of environmental cues to regulate immunity and inflammation by sensing microbial pathogens, secreting cytokines and inflammatory mediators, and presenting antigens to T cells.
No obvious relation was established between stress status and growth parameters and further investigations are needed to improve management strategies of pikeperch culture and knowledge on the relations between environmental conditions, stress and immunity in percid fish.
