|
cellular process
|
Any process that is carried out at the cellular level, but not necessarily restricted to a single cell. For example, cell communication occurs among more than one cell, but occurs at the cellular level. |
|
GO:0008150
|
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:0006950
|
response to stress
|
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 disturbance in organismal or cellular homeostasis, usually, but not necessarily, exogenous (e.g. temperature, humidity, ionizing radiation). |
|
GO:0051707
|
response to other organism
|
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 from another living organism. |
|
GO:0009605
|
response to external 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 an external stimulus. |
|
GO:0043207
|
response to external biotic 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 an external biotic stimulus, an external stimulus caused by, or produced by living things. |
|
GO:0044419
|
biological process involved in interspecies interaction between organisms
|
Any process evolved to enable an interaction with an organism of a different species. |
|
GO:0009607
|
response to biotic 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 biotic stimulus, a stimulus caused or produced by a living organism. |
|
GO:0006952
|
defense response
|
Reactions, triggered in response to the presence of a foreign body or the occurrence of an injury, which result in restriction of damage to the organism attacked or prevention/recovery from the infection caused by the attack. |
|
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:0001909
|
leukocyte mediated cytotoxicity
|
The directed killing of a target cell by a leukocyte. |
|
GO:0002449
|
lymphocyte mediated immunity
|
Any process involved in the carrying out of an immune response by a lymphocyte. |
|
GO:0002443
|
leukocyte mediated immunity
|
Any process involved in the carrying out of an immune response by a leukocyte. |
|
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:0001906
|
cell killing
|
Any process in an organism that results in the killing of its own cells or those of another organism, including in some cases the death of the other organism. Killing here refers to the induction of death in one cell by another cell, not cell-autonomous death due to internal or other environmental conditions. |
|
GO:0045087
|
innate immune response
|
Innate immune responses are defense responses mediated by germline encoded components that directly recognize components of potential pathogens. |
|
GO:0140546
|
defense response to symbiont
|
Reactions triggered in response to the presence of a symbiont that act to protect or prevent damage to the host. |
|
GO:0098542
|
defense response to other organism
|
Reactions triggered in response to the presence of another organism that act to protect the cell or organism from damage caused by that organism. |
|
GO:0002228
|
natural killer cell mediated immunity
|
The promotion of an immune response by natural killer cells through direct recognition of target cells or through the release of cytokines. |
|
GO:0042267
|
natural killer cell mediated cytotoxicity
|
The directed killing of a target cell by a natural killer cell through the release of granules containing cytotoxic mediators or through the engagement of death receptors. |
