  "term": "Immunosensitivity",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "The degree to which an individual's immune system reacts to a specific antigen or stimulus, reflecting its capacity to mount an immune response. This sensitivity can vary significantly between individuals due to genetic factors, prior exposures, and overall health status. It is often assessed by measuring antibody titers or T-cell proliferation in response to a challenge.",
