Morphology
The meaning is directly compositional: 'immune' (protected by the immune system) + 'response' (a reaction) yields 'the immune system's reaction.' This adjective+noun combination follows a standard, cross-linguistically common pattern and is readily inferable by a B1 learner who knows the constituents.
Etymology
Immune response gives a picture of the body as an army. When 'invaders' like viruses or bacteria appear, the body's 'soldiers' called 'antibodies' rush to attack, so immune response means the body's 'reaction' to fight off these threats.
