| human papilloma virus | <virology> A disease caused by the human papilloma virus characterised by a soft wart-like growth on the genitalia (for example penis, vulva). In adults this infection is most commonly transmitted sexually. Genital warts are very common and are increasing in incidence. Safe sex practices, such as using condoms can help decrease the risk of infection. Treatment includes several topical agents to eradicate the lesions, cryosurgery, laser therapy, electrocauterisation or surgical removal. See: alternate name condyloma acuminata. Acronym: HPV (27 Sep 1997) |

| human plasma protein fraction | A sterile solution of selected proteins derived from the blood plasma of adult human donors, containing 4.5 to 5.5 g of protein per 100 ml, of which 83 to 90% is albumin and the remainder is alpha-and beta-globulins; used as a blood volume supporter.

| human rights | The rights of the individual to cultural, social, economic, and educational opportunities as provided by society, e.g., right to work, right to education, and right to social security. (12 Dec 1998) |
| human T-cell leukaemia virus | <virology> One of a group of retroviruses which causes the disease T-cell leukaemia in humans. T-cell leukaemia is a type of the cancer leukaemia where the body uncontrollably produces large amounts of abnormal (nonworking) T lymphocytes. (09 Oct 1997) |
| human T-cell lymphoma/leukaemia virus | A group of viruses (subfamily Oncovirinae, family Retroviridae) that are lymphotropic with a selective affinity for the helper/inducer cell subset of T lymphocytes and that are associated with adult T-cell leukaemia and lymphoma. Synonym: human T-cell lymphotropic virus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| human T-cell lymphotropic virus | A group of viruses (subfamily Oncovirinae, family Retroviridae) that are lymphotropic with a selective affinity for the helper/inducer cell subset of T lymphocytes and that are associated with adult T-cell leukaemia and lymphoma. Synonym: human T-cell lymphotropic virus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| human thioesterase | <enzyme> Homologous to e. Coli thioesterase II; not similar to animal thioesterases I or II; genbank x86032 Registry number: EC 3.1.2.- (26 Jun 1999) |
| human thrombin | Thrombin obtained from human plasma by precipitation with suitable salts and organic solvents; same uses as thrombin. (05 Mar 2000) |
| human T lymphotrophic virus | A virus that has a predilection for human lymphoid cells. (05 Mar 2000) |
| human t-lymphotropic virus | <virology> Type i: A human, single-stranded RNA retrovirus from the subfamily Oncovirinae which causes adult T-cell leukaemia and T-cell lymphoma and may also be involved in certain demyelinating diseases (diseases where the protective myelin sheath around nerve fibres are destroyed). HTLV-I is closely related to HTLV-II (60% of their genomes are identical). Type II: A human, single-stranded RNA retrovirus from the subfamily Oncovirinae which may cause diseases such as T-cell leukaemia and T-cell lymphoma (but this has not been proven). HTLV-II is closely related to HTLV I (60% of their genomes are identical). Type III: An obsolete term for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), which causes Acquired Immunity Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS). Acronym: HTLV (09 Oct 1997) |
| normal human plasma | Sterile plasma obtained by pooling approximately equal amounts of the liquid portion of citrated whole blood from eight or more adult humans who have been certified as free from any disease which is tranmissible by transfusion, and treating it with ultraviolet irradiation to destroy possible bacterial and viral contaminants. (05 Mar 2000) |
| novel human deoxyribonuclease | <enzyme> 45% identical to dnase i. Registry number: EC 3.1.- Synonym: nhdnase (26 Jun 1999) |
| dried human albumin | A sterile preparation of serum albumin obtained by fractionating blood plasma proteins from healthy persons; used as a transfusion material and to treat oedema due to hypoproteinaemia. Synonym: dried human albumin. (05 Mar 2000) |
