Elimination half-life

half-life (haf´līf) the time required for the decay of half of a sample of particles of a radionuclide or elementary particles; symbol t 1/2 or T 1/2.

antibody half-life a measure of the mean survival time of antibody molecules following their formation, usually expressed as the time required to eliminate 50 per cent of a known quantity of immunoglobulin from the animal body. Half-life varies from one immunoglobulin class to another.

biological half-life the time required for a living tissue, organ, or organism to eliminate one-half of a radioactive substance which has been introduced into it.
