  "definition": "Immune status is a frequently used term, so it is surprising that definitions were not readily available. This may be because there are many ways to characterize the human immune system. immune status refers to an individual’s (or population’s) degree of immune system functioning. Immune markers can include but are not limited to general indicators, such as T-cell count, and myriad specific markers, such as antibodies that confer acquired immunity. In addition, the general strength and specific abilities of an individual's immune system fluctuates through time. It can refer to either individual or population based measures of immunity characteristics.",
