introducing material (a vaccine, for example) into the bodyis tissues; also introducing cells into a culture medium.
The introduction of a disease organism or vaccine, usually through a deliberately made wound.
The introduction of cells into a specific environment in order to start a culture.
The introduction of spawn into a medium, logs, sawdust, etc.
Adding yeast to juice to start fermentation.
taking a vaccine as a precaution against contracting a disease
The controlled introduction into the body, usually through the skin, of material containing specific pathogenic organisms or their products in order to stimulate an immunity to a particular disease.
Vaccination, injection, shot.
Introduction of material (usually a vaccine) into the tissues.
The act of exposing someone to a disease. In medicine, this is usually done with a weakened form of a disease to generate immunity from a more injurious occurrence. Beginning in 1796, doctors began inoculating some people with cowpox, because cowpox generated immunity to the much deadlier smallpox.
the introduction of a pathogen or antigen into the body, especially to stimulate antibody production or other immune responses.
Deliberate introduction of living or killed organisms, usually micro-organisms, into a new environment such as soils, culture media or the living body of a higher organism, animal or plant. ( BCFT modif). See Infection, lac.
the introduction of a pathogen or antigen into a living organism to stimulate the production of antibodies
The introduction of a special yeast culture, or any other organism, into the pressed grape juice.
Introduction into the body of the causative organism of a disease.
The act of inoculating; the placement of microorganisms or viruses at a site where infection is possible (the infection court). ()
Introduction of material (i.e., vaccine, bacteria) into the body's tissues.font
The prevention of a disease by the introduction to the body, in small quantities, of the virus or other microorganism that causes the disease.
introduction of a disease agent into a healthy person in order to cause a mild form of the disease and create immunity.
Sometimes called vaccinations, they are injections or medication taken to prevent you catching diseases. Inoculations are usually taken before you go on holiday to tropical destinations; a nurse or doctor can administer them.
The introduction of a disease agent, e.g. vaccine virus, into a healthy individual to produce a mild form of the disease followed by immunity.
The introduction of a substance (inoculum; e.g. a vaccine, serum, or virus) into the body to produce or to increase immunity to the disease or condition associated with the substance. See Vaccine.
The introduction of a selected yeast or bacterial culture into the grape juice or must.
The introduction of minute organisms, like yeast or bacteria to culture media.
The injection of a disease agent into the body to cause a mild form of the disease and build immunity.
Inoculation, originally Variolation, is a method of purposefully infecting a person with smallpox (Variola) in a controlled manner so as to minimise the severity of the infection and also to induce immunity against further infection. It preceded vaccination and is separate from it, though today the terms inoculation, vaccination and immunisation are used more or less interchangeably and popularly refer to the process of artificial induction of immunity against various infectious diseases. The microorganism used in an inoculation is called the inoculant or inoculum.
