| cytapheresis | <haematology, procedure> Separation of one or more kinds of cells from whole blood with the return of other blood cell constituents to the patient or donor. This is accomplished with an instrument that uses centrifugation to separate the cells into different layers based on the differences in cell density (displacement) or drag coefficients in a current (elutriation). The procedure is commonly used in adoptive transfer to isolate nk cells, lymphocytes, or monocytes. (21 Jun 2000) |
| cytarabine | <drug, oncology> A pyrimidine nucleoside analog that is used mainly in the treatment of leukaemia, especially acute non-lymphoblastic leukaemia. Cytarabine is an antimetabolite antineoplastic agent that inhibits the synthesis of DNA. Its actions are specific for the s phase of the cell cycle. It also has antiviral and immunosuppressant properties. Pharmacological action: antimetabolite, antineoplastic, antiviral agent, immunosuppressive agent. Chemical name: 2(1H)-Pyrimidinone, 4-amino-1-beta-D-arabinofuranosyl- (12 Dec 1998) |
