Originally, the various processes of the immune system which augmented the phytogenetically primitive mechanisms of phagocytosis and the inflammatory response. Now often used to refer to any processes which are capable of increasing the effects of activated T cells or antibody molecules. Examples: The effects of opsonization by antibody, complement activation, mast cell release of vasoactive amines, and the production of lymphokines by activated T cells. 1, record 2, English, - amplification

If (...) photons strike unexcited atoms, they will be absorbed so that photons are removed from the stream and the wave train loses energy. If, instead (...) photons strike excited atoms, they will knock out more photons; hence we add photons amplifying the waves (...)
