immunoreactive
Triggers immune detection
Immunoreactive describes a substance that triggers or participates in an immune response—specifically, one that reacts with antibodies or immune cells.
The term appears frequently in laboratory contexts: immunoreactive cells, immunoreactive insulin.
A tissue sample may be described as immunoreactive when it shows positive staining in antibody-based tests.
