| cellulase | <enzyme> Enzymes that break down cellulose and are involved in cell wall breakdown in higher plants, especially during abscission. Produced in large amounts by certain fungi and bacteria. Degradation of cellulose microfibrils requires the concerted action of several cellulases. (26 Mar 1998) |
| cellule | 1. In gross anatomy, a small but macroscopic compartment. Synonym: cellule. 2. In histology, a cell. Origin: L. A small chamber, dim. Of cella (05 Mar 2000) |
| cellulicidal | Destructive to cells. Origin: cellula + L. Caedo, to kill (05 Mar 2000) |
| cellulifugal | Moving from, or extending in a direction away from, a cell or cell body; denoting certain cells repelled by other cells, or processes extending from the body of a cell. Origin: cellula + L. Fugio, to flee (05 Mar 2000) |
| cellulin | <plant biology> A straight chain polysaccharide composed of _(1-4) linked glucose subunits. A major component of plant cell walls where it is found as microfibrils laid down in orthogonal layers. (13 Nov 1997) |

| cellulitis | <dermatology> An acute, diffuse, spreading, oedematous, suppurative inflammation of the deep subcutaneous tissues and sometimes muscle, which may be associated with abscess formation. It is usually caused by infection of an operative or traumatic wound, burn or other cutaneous lesion by various bacteria, but group A streptococci and Staphylococcus aureus are the most common aetiological agents. Cellulitis may also occur in immunocompromised hosts or it may follow erysipelas. It tends to spread to tissue spaces and cleavage planes owing to bacterial elaboration of large amounts of hyaluronidases that, break down polysaccharide ground substance, fibrinolysins that digest fibrin barriers and lecithinases that destroy cell membranes. Clinical manifestations include an area of oedema, warmth and tenderness with indistinct margins. Compare: erysipelas. (13 Nov 1997) |

| cellulosan | <plant biology> Class of plant cell wall polysaccharide that cannot be extracted from the wall by hot water or chelating agents, but can be extracted by aqueous alkali. Includes xylan, glucuronoxylan, arabinoxylan, arabinogalactan II, glucomannan, xyloglucan and galactomannan. Part of the cell wall matrix. (18 Nov 1997) |
| cellulose | <plant biology> A straight chain polysaccharide composed of _(1-4) linked glucose subunits. A major component of plant cell walls where it is found as microfibrils laid down in orthogonal layers. (13 Nov 1997) |

| paralutein cell | A steroid secretory cell of the corpus luteum that comes from the theca interna of the ovarian follicle at the time of ovulation. Synonym: paraluteal cell, paralutein cell. (05 Mar 2000) |
| reactive cell | <cell biology> A round to oval astrocyte cell with abundant cytoplasm containing glial filaments and an eccentric nucleus; may contain two nuclei in the cell hypertrophy of astrocytes. Synonym: gemistocyte, gemistocytic cell, reactive astrocyte, reactive cell. (05 Mar 2000) |
| genes, T-cell receptor | DNA sequences, in cells of the t-lymphocyte lineage, that code for T-cell receptors. The tcr genes are formed by somatic rearrangement (see gene rearrangement, t-lymphocyte and its children) of germline gene segments, and resemble ig genes in their mechanisms of diversity generation and expression. (12 Dec 1998) |
| genes, T-cell receptor alpha | DNA sequences encoding the alpha chain of the T-cell receptor. The genomic organization of the tcr alpha genes is essentially the same in all species and is similar to the organization of ig genes. (12 Dec 1998) |
| genes, T-cell receptor beta | DNA sequences encoding the beta chain of the T-cell receptor. The genomic organization of the tcr beta genes is essentially the same in all species and is similar to the organization of ig genes. (12 Dec 1998) |
| genes, T-cell receptor delta | DNA sequences encoding the delta chain of the T-cell receptor. The delta-chain locus is located entirely within the alpha-chain locus. (12 Dec 1998) |
| genes, T-cell receptor gamma | DNA sequences encoding the gamma chain of the T-cell receptor. The human gamma-chain locus is organised similarly to the tcr beta-chain locus. (12 Dec 1998) |
| Marchand's wandering cell | A cell of the mononuclear phagocyte system. (05 Mar 2000) |

This association is required for the surface expression and function of both components. The molecule consists of up to seven chains: either the alpha/beta or gamma/delta chains of the T-cell receptor, and four or five chains in the CD3 complex. (12 Dec 1998) |

| cellulose nitrate |
A nitrated derivative of cellulose. It is made into membrane filters of defined porosity, used to immobilize DNA, RNA or protein, which can then be probed with a labelled sequence or antibody. These filters have a variety of uses in molecular biology, particularly in nucleic acid hybridization experiments. Used extensively in the Southern and northern blotting procedures involving DNA and RNA.
