Autoimmunity. The immune system is a complex set of organs, cells, proteins and other substances that function to prevent infection. Primary immunodeficiency diseases are characterized by abnormalities in specific components of the immune system that lead to an increased susceptibility to infection.
How to Measure Ounces. Ounces are a measurement of mass or weight, and as such, you should use a scale when measuring ounces for a recipe, experiment, or similar procedure. In contrast, fluid ounces are a measurement of volume, so they are measured in a different manner. Note that there are also ways to estimate mass in ounces if precision is not necessary, and if required, you can easily convert a few other units of measurement into ounces.
Ounces and Cups. Ounces and cups are units of volume which are often used in many British, American and Canadian cooking books, especially old ones. Though almost everybody knows how much an ounce1 is, sometimes it is not easy to understand how many ounces there are in one cup.
