immunologically = immunological (transparent) = immunology + ical + ly
Formed by the regular adverbial suffix '-ly' from the adjective 'immunological', which itself clearly relates to the noun 'immunology'.
Etymology
Immunologically comes from immune meaning 'protected' and the ending -logy meaning 'study', like in biology, plus the ending -ally meaning 'in a way'. So, to do something immunologically is to do it in a way that involves the immune system or protection against disease.
