immunostimulation
Activating body defenses
Immunostimulation is the activation or enhancement of the immune system's response.
Medical treatments may use immunostimulation to help the body fight infections or cancer: The vaccine works through immunostimulation, prompting the body to produce antibodies.
Contrast with immunosuppression, which dampens immune activity.
