Immunology

the proposal that each lymphocyte adjusts its own activation threshold to its recent history of stimulation, so subthreshold signals shape later responsiveness.

In immunology, tunable activation threshold refers to the proposal that each lymphocyte adjusts its own activation threshold to its recent history of stimulation, so subthreshold signals shape later responsiveness. This meaning comes from Grossman (1992) in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.[1]
