| immunologic factors | Biologically active substances whose activities affect or play a role in the functioning of the immune system. (12 Dec 1998) |
|---|---|
| immunologic high dose tolerance | Induction of tolerance by exposure to large amounts of protein antigens. (05 Mar 2000) |
| immunologic memory | <immunology> The ability to rapidly produce large quantities of specific immune cells after subsequent exposure to a previously encountered antigen. (09 Oct 1997) |
| immunologic pregnancy test | A general term for test's for detection of increased human chorionic gonadotropin in plasma or urine by immunologic techniques including latex particle agglutination, haemagglutination inhibition, radioimmunoassay, and radioreceptor assays. (05 Mar 2000) |
| immunologic surveillance | The theory that T-cells monitor cell surfaces and detect structural changes in the plasma membrane and/or surface antigens of virally or neoplastically transformed cells. (12 Dec 1998) |
| immunologic tests | Diagnostic techniques involving the demonstration or measurement of an immune response, including antibody production or assay, antigen-antibody reactions, serologic cross-reactivity, delayed hypersensitivity reactions, or heterogenetic responses. (12 Dec 1998) |
| immunologic tolerance | Lack of immune response to antigen. Theories of tolerance induction include clonal deletion and clonal anergy. In clonal deletion, the actual clone of cells is eliminated whereas in clonal anergy the cells are present but nonfunctional. Synonym: immunological tolerance, immunotolerance, nonresponder tolerance. (05 Mar 2000) |
| bacterial typing techniques | Procedures for identifying types and strains of bacteria. The most frequently employed typing systems are bacteriophage typing and serotyping as well as bacteriocin typing and biotyping. (12 Dec 1998) |
| behavioural techniques | <psychiatry> A coping strategy in which patients are taught to monitor and evaluate their own behaviour and to modify their reactions to pain. (16 Dec 1997) |
| genetic techniques | Chromosomal, biochemical, intracellular, and other methods used in the study of genetics. (12 Dec 1998) |
| patch-clamp techniques | An electrophysiologic technique for studying cells, cell membranes, and occasionally isolated organelles. All patch-clamp methods rely on a very high-resistance seal between a micropipette and a membrane; the seal is usually attained by gentle suction. The four most common variants include on-cell patch, inside-out patch, outside-out patch, and whole-cell clamp. Patch-clamp methods are commonly used to voltage clamp, that is control the voltage across the membrane and measure current flow, but current-clamp methods, in which the current is controlled and the voltage is measured, are also used. (15 Mar 2000) |
| relaxation techniques | The use of muscular relaxation techniques in treatment. (12 Dec 1998) |
| replica techniques | Methods of preparing tissue specimens for visualization using an electron microscope, usually a scanning electron microscope. The methods involve the creation of exact copies of the specimens by making a mold or cast (i.e., replica) of the specimen. (12 Dec 1998) |
| reproduction techniques | Methods pertaining to the generation of new individuals. (12 Dec 1998) |
| pericardial window techniques | Surgical construction of an opening or window in the pericardium. It is often called subxiphoid pericardial window technique. (12 Dec 1998) |
