| AMLSGA | acute myeloblastic leukemia surface glycoprotein antigen |
|---|---|
| ANC | absolute neutrophil count; acid neutralization capacity; antigen-neutralizing capacity; Army Nurse C... |
| anti-HBc | antibody to hepatitis B core antigen |
| anti-HBe | antibody to hepatitis B early antigen |
| anti-HBs | antibody to hepatitis B surface antigen |
| Forssman antigen-antibody reaction | The combination of Forssman antibody with heterogenetic antigen of the Forssman type, as in the agglutination of sheep erythrocytes (which contain Forssman antigen) by serum from a person with infectious mononucleosis which contains Forssman antibody. Synonym: Forssman reaction. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| fos-related antigen | <molecular biology> A group of phosphoproteins found in the cell nucleus which are structurally similar to the fos oncogene's gene product. (06 Mar 1998) |
| leukocyte common antigen | Family of glycoproteins found on most leukocytes and absent from other cell types. These cell surface antigens can comprise up to 10% of the membrane proteins. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Lyb antigen | Surface antigens of mouse B-cells. (18 Nov 1997) |
| lymphocyte function associated antigen | A member of the integrin family that is expressed on all leukocytes and binds to ICAM-1 and ICAM-2 on a variety of cells. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lymphocyte function-associated antigen-1 | A heterodimer molecule widely expressed on cells of haematopoietic origin. Cd11a antigen comprises the alpha chain and the CD18 antigen (antigens, CD18) the beta chain. Lfa-1 is a major receptor of T-cells, B-cells, and granulocytes. It mediates the leukocyte adhesion reactions underlying cytolytic conjugate formation, helper T-cell interactions, and antibody-dependent killing by natural killer cells and granulocytes. Intracellular adhesion molecule-1 (icam-1) has been defined as a ligand for lfa-1. (12 Dec 1998) |
| lymphogranuloma venereum antigen | A sterile preparation of inactivated chlamydiae grown in the yolk sac of domestic fowl and used as an antigen in the Frei test. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Lyt antigen | A set of plasmalemmal surface glycoproteins on mouse T lymphocytes. Possession of Lyt 1 partly defines a T helper cell and of Lyt 2, 3 suppressor and cytotoxic cells. Formerly known as Ly antigens. See: Lyb antigen. (18 Nov 1997) |
