ALLOGENIC
Etymology
Adjective
allogenic (comparative more allogenic, superlative most allogenic)
Having an external cause, or source; exogenous.
(geology) Formed in another location and transported.
(medicine, biology, genetics, immunology) Alternative form of allogeneic: genetically distinct, but of the same species; nonself but intraspecies.
Usage notes
Do not confuse allogenic ("of nonself intraspecies origin") with allergenic ("generating allergy"); the two concepts are often related (because allergic reactions can potentially be caused by any antigen and usually/especially by nonself antigens), but the similar sound of the two words is due only to partial cognation of the word roots.
