| gene products, rev | Trans-acting nuclear proteins whose functional expression are required for HIV viral replication. Specifically, the rev gene products are required for processing and translation of the HIV gag and env mRNAs, and thus rev regulates the expression of the viral structural proteins. Rev can also regulate viral regulatory proteins. A cis-acting antirepression sequence (car) in env, also known as the rev-responsive element (rre), is responsive to the rev gene product. Rev is short for regulator of virion. (12 Dec 1998) |

| genes, rev | DNA sequences that form the coding region for a protein that regulates the expression of the viral structural and regulatory proteins in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Rev is short for regulator of virion. (12 Dec 1998) |
| rev | <molecular biology> A regulatory protein produced by HIV within infected cells. Rev helps transport HIV RNA sequences (messenger RNA) out from the nucleus into the cells cytoplasm, where it directs construction of proteins for new virus particles. (11 Jan 1998) |
| administration, oral | The giving of drugs, chemicals, or other substances by mouth. (12 Dec 1998) |
| cancer, oral | Cancer of the mouth area. A sore in the mouth that does not heal can be a warning sign of oral cancer. A biopsy is the only to know whether as abnormal area in the oral cavity is cancer. Oral cancer is caused by tobacco (smoking and chewing) and alcohol use. Surgery to remove the tumour in the mouth is the usual treatment for patients with oral cancer. (12 Dec 1998) |
| candidiasis, oral | Infection of the mucous membranes of the mouth by a fungus of the genus candida. (12 Dec 1998) |
| canine oral papilloma | Warts affecting mucous membranes of young dogs; caused by a papillomavirus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| magnesia and alumina oral suspension | A mixture of magnesium hydroxide and variable amounts of aluminum oxide; used as an antacid. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pathology, oral | A dental specialty concerned with pathology of the oral cavity. (12 Dec 1998) |
| pharyngo-oral | Relating to the pharynx and the mouth; oropharyngeal. Origin: pharyngo-+ L. Os (or-), mouth (05 Mar 2000) |
| combination oral contraceptive | A mixture of a steroid having progestational activity and an oestrogen. (05 Mar 2000) |
| contraceptives, oral | Compounds, usually hormonal, taken orally in order to block ovulation and prevent the occurrence of pregnancy. The hormones are generally oestrogen or progesterone or both. (12 Dec 1998) |
| contraceptives, oral, combined | Fixed drug combinations administered orally for contraceptive purposes. (12 Dec 1998) |
| contraceptives, oral, hormonal | Oral contraceptives which owe their effectiveness to hormonal preparations. (12 Dec 1998) |
| contraceptives, oral, sequential | Drugs administered orally and sequentially for contraceptive purposes. (12 Dec 1998) |
