A state of immune unresponsiveness. Induced when the T cell's antigen receptor is stimulated, effectively freezing T cell responses pending a "second signal" from the antigen-presenting cell. The delivery of the second signal by the antigen-presenting cell rescues the activated T cell from anergy, allowing it to produce the lymphokin [..]

Negative synergy, instead of a “2 + 2 = 5” effect, anergy imp lies “2 + 2 = 3”. Business units actively interface with each other and may have more value if separated.
