immuneeksi

Immuneeksi is a term that refers to the process by which an individual's immune system becomes desensitized to a particular antigen, typically through repeated exposure. This phenomenon is often observed in individuals who have been repeatedly exposed to a specific allergen, such as pollen, dust mites, or certain foods. The immune system's response to these antigens is gradually reduced, leading to a decrease in allergic symptoms over time. This process is a natural part of the immune system's adaptive response and is a key factor in the development of tolerance to allergens. Immuneeksi is not the same as immunity, which refers to the ability of the immune system to recognize and respond to a specific pathogen. Instead, immuneeksi involves the immune system's ability to ignore or tolerate a specific antigen, allowing the individual to live in an environment that would otherwise trigger an allergic reaction. This process is an important aspect of the immune system's ability to distinguish between harmless and harmful substances, and is a crucial factor in the development of tolerance to allergens.
