| rho(d) immune globulin | Immunizing agent containing IgG anti-rho(d) used for preventing rh immunization in rh-negative individuals exposed to rh-positive red blood cells. (12 Dec 1998) |
|---|---|
| rabies immune globulin | Globulin fraction of pooled plasma of high anti-rabies virus titre from immunised persons. Synonym: rabies immunoglobulin. (05 Mar 2000) |
| measles immune globulin | A sterile solution of globulin's derived from the blood plasma of normal adult human donors; it is prepared from immune serum globulin that complies with the measles antibody reference standard; a passive immunizing agent. Synonym: measles immunoglobulin. (05 Mar 2000) |
| chickenpox immune globulin | Globulin fraction of serum from persons recently recovered from herpes zoster infection; used to prevent infection of high-risk children. Synonym: chickenpox immunoglobulin. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pertussis immune globulin | A sterile solution of globulin's derived from the plasma of adult human donors who have been immunised with pertussis vaccine; used both prophylactically and therapeutically. Synonym: pertussis immunoglobulin. (05 Mar 2000) |
| poliomyelitis immune globulin | A sterile solution of globulin's that contains those antibodies normally present in adult human blood; it is a passive immunologic agent that attenuates or prevents poliomyelitis, measles, and infectious hepatitis, and confers temporary but significant protection against paralytic polio. Synonym: poliomyelitis immunoglobulin. (05 Mar 2000) |
| specific immune globulin | Globulin fraction of pooled serums (or plasma) selected for high titre of antibodies specific for a particular antigen, or from persons specifically immunised. (05 Mar 2000) |
| immune serum globulin | A sterile solution of globulin's that contains many antibodies normally present in adult human blood; a passive immunizing agent frequently used for prophylaxis against hepatitis A. (05 Mar 2000) |
| tetanus immune globulin | <protein> A protein antibody to tetanus toxin, given as passive immunity for those lacking any prior tetanus vaccination. (27 Sep 1997) |
| zoster immune globulin | A globulin fraction of pooled plasma from individuals who have recovered from herpes zoster; used prophylactically and therapeutically for varicella. (05 Mar 2000) |
| rho | 1. 17th letter of the Greek alphabet, ρ. 2. Symbol for density, population correlation coefficient See: rho factor. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Rho-associated kinase | <enzyme> Binds the g-protein rho; rock-i and rock-ii are two isoforms; genbank u36909 Registry number: EC 2.7.10.- Synonym: rho-kinase, rock-i, rock-ii, p160(rock), let-502 kinase (26 Jun 1999) |
| Rho(D) immunoglobulin | rHo(D) immune globulin |
| rho factor | <cell biology> Protein factors found in prokaryotes, especially E. Coli, involved in the termination of transcription. Mutations in rho may cause the RNA polymerase to read through from one operon to the next. (23 Aug 1998) |
| rho gene | <molecular biology> Genes coding for small GTP-binding proteins, implicated in actin organisation and the interaction of the cytoskelton with intracellular membranes. See: ras, rab. (23 Aug 1998) |
