| 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) |
| 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) |
| 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) |
| lymphocyte lymphocyte | A type of non-granular antibodies. (09 Oct 1997) |
| accelerator globulin | Globulin in serum that promotes the conversion of prothrombin to thrombin in the presence of thromboplastin and ionised calcium. See: factor Va, factor V, serum accelerator globulin. (05 Mar 2000) |
| albumin-globulin ratio | The ratio of albumin to globulin in the serum or in the urine in kidney disease; the normal ratio in the serum is approximately 1.55. (05 Mar 2000) |
| alpha-globulin | <protein> The serum globulins with the most rapid electrophoretic migration, further subdivided into faster alpha(1)- and slower alpha(2)-globulins. (12 Dec 1998) |
| antihemophilic globulin | A coagulation (clotting) factor. Classic haemophilia (haemophilia A) is due to a congenital deficiency in the amount (or activity) of factor VIII. Factor VIII is also known as antihemophiliac factor (AHF) or antihemophiliac globulin (AHG). The gene for factor VIII (that for classic haemophilia) is on the X chromosome so females can be silent carriers without symptoms and males can be haemophiliacs. (12 Dec 1998) |
