Learn English – Which preposition is used with tolerance in this sentence

medicalprepositions

I want to use the word tolerance in the context of infectious diseases.

This sentence:

The immune response will mediate either clearance or tolerance
preposition infections.

In other words, the immune system will either get rid of infections from the body or on the contrary will tolerate them.

Is it of, to, from, toward or what? which preposition is more correct?

Best Answer

"Of"...because you need it to fit with "clearance" also, with which "to", "from" and "toward" will not work.
