An exemption that a person (individual or corporate) enjoys from the normal operation of the law such as a legal duty or liability, either criminal or civil.

Another example of an immunity is where a witness agrees to testify only if the testimony cannot be used at some later date during a hearing against the witness.

Immunity (Microbiology)

The ability of an individual to resist and/or control the effects of antigens (antigen sources could be animal, plant, or mineral). Effective immunity includes both cellular immunity, which is conferred by T-lymphocyte sensitization, and/or humoral immunity, which is based on B-lymphocyte response. Passive immunity is attained either naturally by transplacental transfer from the mother, or artificially by inoculation of specific protective antibodies (from immunized animals, or convalescent hyperimmune serum or immune serum globulin [human]); it is of short duration (days to months). Active humoral immunity, which usually lasts for years, is attained either naturally by infection with or without clinical manifestations, or artificially by inoculation of the agent itself in killed, modified or variant form, or of fractions or products of the agent.

Immunity (Naturopathic)

The ability to resist infection and to heal. The process may involve acquired immunity, (the ability to learn and remember a specific infectious agent), or innate immunity (the genetically programmed system of responses that attack, digest, remove, and initiate inflammation and tissue healing).

Immunity (Nutrition)

The condition of being able to resist and overcome disease or infection.

Immunity (Personal Injury Law)
