What's the difference between immunity and inoculation?

Immunity


Definition:

Inoculation


Definition:

  • (n.) The act or art of inoculating trees or plants.
  • (n.) The act or practice of communicating a disease to a person in health, by inserting contagious matter in his skin or flesh.
  • (n.) Fig.: The communication of principles, especially false principles, to the mind.

Example Sentences:

  • (2) Charcoal particles coated with the lipid extract were prepared and the suspension inoculated intravenously into mice.
  • (3) The treatment was started either immediately or delayed for 48 h after peritoneal inoculation.
  • (4) Plaque size, appearance, and number were influenced by diluent, incubation temperature after nutrient overlay, centrifugation of inoculated tissue cultures, and number of host cells planted initially in each flask.
  • (5) This suggested that some of the cell population became metabolically inactive at a very early stage, possibly owing to suboptimal conditions of growth.Glycine, lysozyme and lithium chloride initiated lysis of BCG growth in the aforementioned media 24-48 hours after inoculation.
