biological_process
|
A biological process is the execution of a genetically-encoded biological module or program. It consists of all the steps required to achieve the specific biological objective of the module. A biological process is accomplished by a particular set of molecular functions carried out by specific gene products (or macromolecular complexes), often in a highly regulated manner and in a particular temporal sequence. |

GO:0050896
|
response to stimulus
|
Any process that results in a change in state or activity of a cell or an organism (in terms of movement, secretion, enzyme production, gene expression, etc.) as a result of a stimulus. The process begins with detection of the stimulus and ends with a change in state or activity or the cell or organism. |
|
GO:0065007
|
biological regulation
|
Any process that modulates a measurable attribute of any biological process, quality or function. |
|
GO:0050789
|
regulation of biological process
|
Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of a biological process. Biological processes are regulated by many means; examples include the control of gene expression, protein modification or interaction with a protein or substrate molecule. |
|
GO:0048518
|
positive regulation of biological process
|
Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of a biological process. Biological processes are regulated by many means; examples include the control of gene expression, protein modification or interaction with a protein or substrate molecule. |
|
GO:0048583
|
regulation of response to stimulus
|
Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of a response to a stimulus. Response to stimulus is a change in state or activity of a cell or an organism (in terms of movement, secretion, enzyme production, gene expression, etc.) as a result of a stimulus. |
|
GO:0002376
|
immune system process
|
Any process involved in the development or functioning of the immune system, an organismal system for calibrated responses to potential internal or invasive threats. |
|
GO:0006955
|
immune response
|
Any immune system process that functions in the calibrated response of an organism to a potential internal or invasive threat. |
|
GO:0002252
|
immune effector process
|
Any process of the immune system that executes a component of an immune response. An effector immune process takes place after its activation. |
|
GO:0002682
|
regulation of immune system process
|
Any process that modulates the frequency, rate, or extent of an immune system process. |
|
GO:0050776
|
regulation of immune response
|
Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of the immune response, the immunological reaction of an organism to an immunogenic stimulus. |
|
GO:0002697
|
regulation of immune effector process
|
Any process that modulates the frequency, rate, or extent of an immune effector process. |
|
GO:0002684
|
positive regulation of immune system process
|
Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate, or extent of an immune system process. |
|
GO:0048584
|
positive regulation of response to stimulus
|
Any process that activates, maintains or increases the rate of a response to a stimulus. Response to stimulus is a change in state or activity of a cell or an organism (in terms of movement, secretion, enzyme production, gene expression, etc.) as a result of a stimulus. |
|
GO:0050778
|
positive regulation of immune response
|
Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of the immune response, the immunological reaction of an organism to an immunogenic stimulus. |
|
GO:0002253
|
activation of immune response
|
Any process that initiates an immune response. |
|
GO:0006956
|
complement activation
|
Any process involved in the activation of any of the steps of the complement cascade, which allows for the direct killing of microbes, the disposal of immune complexes, and the regulation of other immune processes; the initial steps of complement activation involve one of three pathways, the classical pathway, the alternative pathway, and the lectin pathway, all of which lead to the terminal complement pathway. |
|
GO:0006959
|
humoral immune response
|
An immune response mediated through a body fluid. |
|
GO:0030449
|
regulation of complement activation
|
Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of complement activation. |
|
GO:0002920
|
regulation of humoral immune response
|
Any process that modulates the frequency, rate, or extent of a humoral immune response. |
|
GO:0001905
|
activation of membrane attack complex
|
The activation of the membrane attack complex components of the complement cascade which can result in death of a target cell through cytolysis. |
|
GO:0001969
|
regulation of activation of membrane attack complex
|
Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of the activation of the membrane attack complex components of the complement cascade. |
