| uricosuric agent | <pharmacology> Gout suppressants that act directly on the renal tubule to increase the excretion of uric acid, thus reducing its concentrations in plasma. (12 Dec 1998) |
|---|---|
| fibrinolytic agent | Fibrinolysin or agents that convert plasminogen to fibrinolysin. They may be endogenous or exogenous like the bacterial enzymes used in thromboembolism. (12 Dec 1998) |
| LDH agent | A species of RNA virus, probably an arterivirus, occurring in a number of transplantable mouse tumours. Infected mice have permanently elevated serum levels of lactate dehydrogenase. (12 Dec 1998) |
| luting agent | A fastening material or cement; e.g., plaster or wax to hold casts to an articulator, or material to hold crowns to teeth. (05 Mar 2000) |
| acute viral conjunctivitis | An epidemic inflammation of the conjunctiva marked by follicles, especially in the lower fornix; may be caused by adenoviruses, herpesvirus, and Newcastle disease virus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| antibodies, viral | Immunoglobulins produced as a response to viral antigens; includes all classes of immunoglobulins elicited by all viral components. (12 Dec 1998) |
| antigens, viral | Substances elaborated by viruses that have antigenic activity. (12 Dec 1998) |
| antigens, viral, tumour | Those proteins recognised by antibodies from serum of animals bearing tumours induced by viruses; these proteins are presumably coded for by the nucleic acids of the same viruses that caused the neoplastic transformation. (12 Dec 1998) |
| avian viral arthritis virus | A virus of the genus Reovirus, family Reoviridae, causing tenosynovitis and arthritis in chickens. (05 Mar 2000) |
| bronchiolitis, viral | An acute inflammatory disease of the upper respiratory tract, caused by paramyxoviruses, occurring primarily in infants and young children; the viruses most commonly implicated are parainfluenza type 3 and respiratory syncytial virus. (12 Dec 1998) |
| gene expression regulation, viral | Any of the processes by which cytoplasmic factors influence the differential control of gene action in viruses. (12 Dec 1998) |
| genes, structural, viral | DNA or RNA sequences that code for RNA and for the proteins required for the enzymatic and structural function of viral cells. (12 Dec 1998) |
| genes, viral | The hereditary material of viruses, consisting in all DNA and some RNA viruses of a single molecule of nucleic acid, and in some RNA viruses of several separate pieces of RNA. (12 Dec 1998) |
| genome, viral | The complete gene complement contained in a DNA or RNA molecule in a virus. (12 Dec 1998) |
| viral | Pertaining to, caused by or of the nature of virus. (18 Nov 1997) |
