Resistant antibodies run amok (13)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

insubordinate

'resistant' is the definition.
('insubordinate' can be a synonym of 'resistant')

'antibodies run amok' is the wordplay.
'amok' is an anagram indicator.
'antibodies'+'run'='antibodiesrun'
'antibodiesrun' with letters rearranged gives 'INSUBORDINATE'.

(Other definitions for insubordinate that I've seen before include "Insolent" , "Not submissive to authority" , "Badly behaved" , "Recalcitrant" , "Cheeky" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
