immuno
Defense system prefix
Immuno is a combining form relating to immunity or the immune system, appearing in scientific and medical terms: immunology, immunodeficiency, immunotherapy, immunosuppressant.
It occasionally stands alone as informal shorthand for immunology or immunological: the immuno department, immuno research.
