  "term": "Lymphoproliferation",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A rise in lymphocyte number through cell division, usually triggered by antigens, mitogens or other cellular activators. It is part of a normal immune response and is measured in vitro by the uptake of tritiated thymidine or a similar label by stimulated cultures.
