adoptive immunization<br />

The passive transfer of immunity by the injection of<br />

lymphoid cells from a specifically immune individual to a<br />

previously nonimmune recipient host. The recipient is said<br />

to have adoptive immunity.<br />

adoptive immunotherapy<br />

The experimental treatment of terminal cancer patients<br />

who have metastatic tumors unresponsive to other modes<br />

of therapy by the inoculation of lymphokine-activated<br />

killer (LAK) cells or tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes<br />

(TILs) together with interleukin-2 (IL-2). This mode of<br />

therapy has shown some success in approximately one<br />

adoptive tolerance<br />

The passive transfer of immunologic tolerance with<br />

lymphoid cells from an animal tolerant to that antigen<br />

to a previously nontolerant and irradiated recipient host<br />

animal.<br />

adoptive transfer<br />

A synonym for adoptive immunization; the passive transfer<br />

of lymphocytes from an immunized individual to a nonimmune<br />

subject with immune system cells such as CD4 + T<br />

lymphocytes. Tumor-reactive T cells have been adoptively<br />

transferred for experimental cancer therapy.<br />
